CONFUSION OYER
SIGNALS EVIDENT

Considerable confusion over the
meaning of the second blue warning
was in evidence here during the black
out test Friday night.
The warning, a steady blast of the
sirens, indicated that enemy raiders"
were stiI in the area and that resi-
dence, business and street lights must
remain extinguished. Cars were per-
mitted to move using dimmed lights,
and pedestrians were allowed to re-
sumo activity.
The signal, which followed the ac-
tual raid warning. was interpreted by
some as indicating that house lights
could be turned on. A few air raid
wardens also turned on street lights.
Only at the all clear signal, which
follows the second blue warning, can
residence. business and street lights be
turned back on. :,

NO RULES FOR
GRASS BURNING

Ely has no ordinance regulating the
burning of grass or brush within the
city limits, it was revealed by city Of
ficials this week.
Sunday afternoon grass fire on
the south edge of the city threatened
several house and a pile of lumber un-
til it was brought under control by
the fire department. The fire, which
burned over an area about five acres
in size, started when burning grass on
a garden tract got out of control.
The city council at its last meeting
gave Fire Chief I. G. Cox authority
to issue burning permit, but it did not
make the securing of such permits
mandatory.
Ordinance No. Is, adopted in 1918,
makes it unlawful ito set on fire
any brush heap or other combustible
material SO as to endanger the
of another or that of the
city" It provides only for penalty and
not for regulation Of grass or brush
burning.
