view Of the Increasing hazard with

ins of furnace fires. He also called
attention to Fire Prevention Day.
which will be observed on October
10 throughout the country. and sug-
gested that Council make some
plans for the suitable observance OF
that day in this city.
"As the time is drawing near 10
start heater fires" Chief Lutz says.
~and knowing that the city is in need
OF good cleaning and all the FIRE
hazards removed before these fires
are started. would recommend that
the salaries OF the two assistant
chiefs be increased to a living wage.
and that they be placed into duties
Of inspecting and working on fire
prevention. TO prevent fires is the
slogan. and that is what every city
s now trying to do. Daily inspec-
tions. with the proper laws 10 govern
the same, are aids in fire preven-
tion"
Chief Lutz said he himself wishes

s now, and has been, doing all he
could along the line OF fire preven-
ton and educating the people of the

says. "and the citizens be the fire
,reventers and the fire loss in the
dtr will be less"

'will be observed on October 10
throughout the country. and this
.ity should make a large effort Ia
.educe the fire loss and should
make an early start with the same
And the members Of City Council
should fan in line and, with the as
sistance of the citizens and others
who have the public welfare at
heart. they should urge the people
to. clean up their premises.
They could assist with the distrib-
uating OF the posters and cards and
advertisements of all kinds. The
local press could insert the various
cuts on fire prevention. Moving pic
ture houses. I believe, will use then
screens to display slides Of n fire

WILL PAY PREMIUMS ON
 LAST DAY OF COUNTY FAIR

The New London County Agricultural Society has decided to pay the premiums i'll five of the exhibition departments on the last day of the county fair this ] instead of paying the premiums after the fair. This is a departure from the usual custom as no premiums have here tofore been paid on the final day of the
 fair.
 The plan is in vogue in several of the
 New England fairs and is working out well, so the directors of the local fair
 association have decided to give it a tryout here. If the idea works out sat- isfactorily it is possible that premiums will be paid in a number of the other departments next year. The departments in which premiums
 will be paid on the final day of the fair 1 this year are as follows: | Domestic and fancy department, fruS | department, vegetable department, cake and honey department and flower depart ment.
 Morgan Cronin has been appointed of-
 fcial decorator for the fairhYounds this year. The grounds will be a'tractively
 decorated with flags. l Chandler and Palmer are now engaged
