City adopts church bell alarm system for fires
Local government replaces engine house bell with Congregational church bell for night alarms starting April 10. Bell will be heard citywide from high ground. A key box with glass front will hold the key to prevent delays, with penalties for glass breaking except in fire cases. Reports from Ellsworth list residents visiting, leaving for business trips, and other civic notices.
