ANSWERED WRONG ALARM

Chief William J. Noble will pre- fer charge of negligence against Captain Michael J. Butler of Engine Go. 8 at tonight's meeting of the board of fire commissioners as the result of an incident Sunday night when Capt. Buffers company went to Box AT in answer to an alarm which came. from Box 416. The box numbered AT Is at the corner of Francis and Stanley street while the alarm Sunday night was from the corner of Putnam and Talcott streets. After examining the tape at the No. 3 station and finding that the four rounds had registered per fectly, Chief Noble decided to re- port the matter to the fire board.
 It is the second time that Engine Co. has answered a wrong box as the result of Captain Butler making an error in reading the tape. A lit- tie over a year ago, an alarm was received from Box 39 at the corner of High and Broad streets. and No. company, in charge of the cap- tain, answered Box SS at the corner of North Burritt and Alden streets. The affair at that time was straight ened out without bringing Capt. Butler before the board.
 At the meeting of the commits sioners tonight, it is expected that a call will be issued for bids on a new machine for the chief and a new truck for Electrician George Cooley, both of which were provided for in the budgets of the coming year.
