Another step towards the better
ment of conditions in the town is
the installation of a warning sys-
tenn by the Town Council to let res
idents know when the water or
electric is to be cut off. Two sirens
have been placed atop the Town
Hall in an east-west position and
with the sounding of one Long
Blow is notice that the water will
be cut off in 30 minutes, with two
Short Blows the electric will be cut
off in 30 minutes, and with three
short blows the town truck is to
report to the town Office at once.
This system has been long needed
and will no doubt be a sedative to
the frazzled nerves of housewives,
who, in going about their daily
chores suddenly to find themselves
without water or electric.

present fine opportunity for some |
ambitious young man willing to
open a shop and operate at hours
to suit the public.
