METUCHEN FIRE
SIREN PLANNED
Borough viii be Dividen Into
Districts Common Council
Holds Busy Session

METUCHEN, Dec. 22-Metuchen
is to have installed within the next
week an electric fire alarm siren
which will be tried out here and if
found to meet the necessary re-
uuirementse a fire alarm system in
which the borough will be divided
iIto districts with a particular num-
Der for each district will most like
ly be forthcoming.
The siren has been secured by
Councilman Frederick Ayres, who
Nas made chairman of a special
committee to look into the advisa-
bility of eqHipping the borough with
L new fire alarm system. The siren
is guaranteed to be sufficiently
strong to be heard "a mile and one-
half in any direction. even. when d
strong wind is blowing. While
the siren is being tried out the
switch will probably be installed in
u local lunch wagon where there is
someone on Guty all night. If IL
comes up TO expectations however,
tire system OF districting the Dor
c1gh and having different calls for
each section will probably be put
into effect.
Councilman Ayres also reported
that a trip made by him to Trenton
disclosed the fact that a condition
which he described as Astounding
prevails in Metuchen with regards to
her i~nadquate water supply. The
water is supplied by the Plainfield
Company and although the borough
is paying that company for fire pro-
lection he said no protection is forth
coming. The Insurance Underwrit-
ers at Trenton, the councilman said.
gave him some information which
made 1t appear that failure on the
part of the Metuchen officials to see
that better water pressure and pro-
lection in furnished will mean a de-
cided increase in fire insurance rates
in this borough.
Engineers of the underwriters or
ganiZation have recently made a gen.
eral survey of Metuchen. Mr.. Ayres
said, and tine condition of low pres
sure and lack of water protection
was discovered. At many plugs. he
said, there was good pressure when
the plugs were at first opened but
after a few minutes the pressure
dropped to such an extent that the
water was coming very slowly from
the fire plugs. This condition will
be looked into at once with a view
20 having the Plainfield Company
supply higher pressure.

ter problem was under way the
