Fire alarm abolition sparks exchange reform in town
City exchange manager W. B. A. Nottorf issues a ruling banning general fire alarm calls by telephone operators. Exceptions allow location of fires when a fire alarm sounds. Critics say alarms disrupt switchboard operations and waste time. The order follows a Friday incident with many calls and disrupted service as war rumors spread. Local social notes and community updates follow, including visits and gatherings around Vinland and nearby towns.
