ceive so many unnecessary calls from
excitable persons in time Of fires

ment, Chief J. E. Tyson, e. N. Jen-

Havre de Grace, to talk over the sit
uation for the planning of a fire code
to be used by the several fire COM
panies throughout the two counties
and the nearby sections of Pennsyl-

Unnecessary and unauthorized
calls have been a great annoyance to
the volunteer firemen and the meet
ing was arranged to correct the mat

The Telephone Company will CO.
operate in every way possible to give
the firemen relief and when the code
is perfected it will be impossible for
outsiders" to call in and send a
