 New Siren Installed A siren has been installed on the facade of the local fire house and this sounds each time the fire en- zines go out to fire.
 The purpose of the new siren, Fire Chief Milton Calvin explained to- day, is to warn motorists and pedes- trians that the machines are coming out. All motorists are required to pull over to the curb and stop im- mediately on hearing the siren.
 It is believed such action will al- low the fire vehicles to make faster time in reaching the blaze and as there should be no congestion if all within hearing obey the signal. Of course the fire machines are equip ped with a siren and similar action should be taken by autoists who are on the same street the fire engine is using. Several times in recent weeks the fire machines have been delayed because of failure of motorists to heed the warnings. Such persons are subject to arrest, Chief Galgin warned.
