ED BELL TO RING
CONTINUOUSLY

Confused fire alarm signals
Saturday afternoon were heard
between and o'clock, and the
continued ringing of the Petronia
street bell caused considerable
excitement in all sections of the
city.
At times it sounded as though
several calls were being sent in
from different boxes, some of
which were at times clear and
distinct.
1t was later learned that a
tangle of wires, caused by the
wind and movement of trees had
brought a number of wires of the
fire alarm system in contact,
hence the tumble of signals.
