FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
Report to Board of Trade Regarding
Expense Of Electric System
Mr.. Otto X. Bennett, Editor,
Manchester Journal,

Expense OF Electric System
Mr.. Otto r. Bennett, Editor,
Manchester Journal,
Manchester, Vermont
My Dear Editor
have been asked to secure as COM
plete information concerning electric
sirens as possible, in the event Of the
possibility Of one being purchased at
the next town meeting by the Town Of
Manchester.
The first question to be raised in
this matter, is, why is such device
necessary. The following facts are an
attempt to show the necessity:
/. We have no mills in town now
on whose steam whistle we can depend
as fire warning, especially at night.
2. The bells in the different viii
lagos do not carry sound far enough
and sometimes there is considerable
delay before they are rung.
3. When a fire is first discovered
instantaneous warning is necessary TO
all, SO that volunteer fremen may be
on the ground as soon as possible.
1t seems that an electric siren placed
on the fire house at Manchester Cen
ter, would be an ideal signal TO be
placed at this point, as here, it would
be in a central location, and close to
the Office of the telephone company
where the operating switch could be
placed. BY placing the switch in the
telephone cenaral Office we are assured
Of efficient night and day service.
The electric siren, an electrically op-
Grated sound signalling device, has
been developed to supply the want for
sound signalling device in small
cities, towns, etc, having volunteer or
partially volunteer fire departments.
The object OF a sound signalling de-
vice is to notify volunteers in the event
of a fire and to bring them to the fire
or the frehouse with as little delay as
possible. No volunteer fire depart
ment can be called efficient unless
there is a reliable system of sending in
an alarm, and thus preventing an in
cipient blaze developing into a fire Of
such proportions rs to be beyond con-
troll. A man quickly on the spot with
a fire extinguisher is worth more than
the whole fire department half hour
late.
The advantages Of an electric siren
are:
l. Tt can be blown from the tele-
phone office, or if desired from distant
locations.
2. The tone of the sound is differ
ent from any other form of signal.
8. Cost of maintenance and oper-
alton is small.
A. Operation is simple-can be
done by child-knowledge Of how to
throw a simple knife switch is all that
Is necessary.
5. The type Of siren as recommend
ID for the Town of Manchester can be
heard under average conditions from
,ne and half to two miles.
6. The manufacturers Of sirens will
,lace one with the town, on trial, for
hirty days.
l trust you will find room to pub
ish the above statement in regard to
iirens, and in addition the attached
etters They will give the voters Of
he town Of Manchester complete in
ormation concerning this matter.
Your very truly,
l.. +. MARTIN

mediocre racing here this afternoon. but
Tomorrow there promises to be the

Three horses started, Grenadier, New
Haven and Elysian. Elysian. an odds

more than sixteenth Of mile.

In the first race Benny Marinell rode
Belle Of Blue Ridge so badly that Max
Hirsch, his contract employer, ban

place this season. He did everything
he should not have done during the
race and finished second to Adventures.
