To Move Fire Alarm
The new electric fire whistle which
was installed at the power plant
some months ago, is to be moved to
the rear of the fire engine house on
Third street, in order that it will
serve the firemen and citizens con-

blowing very hard from the north
west it can't be heard in some sec

whistle will be beneficial not only to
the firemen but to every resident of
the town.
