by telephone to "a Portland street
to attend to threatening chimney

over the telephone the truck went to
Hooker Hill, and finding no fire there
made quick time i'll getting TO Port

In this connection the fire depart

calling the station by telephone must
be more explicit in directions, and 1T
would also aid quick response if par

rival of the apparatus SO that the
firemen may be sure of the location
of the fire.
The chemical had just returned to
