 The mayor said that the commit ,nicaitons committee of the Water bury defense council is making a careful study of the warning system and may soon file recommendations for changes which will make the alarm clearly heard in every part of the city. There were complaints last night, as in the previous test, that the sirens could not be heard in some parts of the city.
