Town Council Deals With Fire Alarm And Escapes
The Town Council met with Inspector of Buildings Ernest Alder to enforce new fire escape laws for two and a half story buildings. Chief Coggeshall reported the new fire alarm whistle at the National India Rubber Co plant failed thrice, and a recall demonstrated the system’s ineffectiveness. Council approved remedies by Gamewell Fire Alarm Company and discussed linking funds from a school sale to unpaid bills, with no final decision.
