Firemen Seek Help For Alarm System Purchase
A Winchester Volunteer Firemen's Association request to fund an alarm system, including a diaphone horn and ticker tape fire event records, was referred to the committee after City Solicitor Reardon ruled unexpended balances may be used post July 1. Fire Chief Taylor noted the system would aid location, cut duplication, and allow private hook-in at a small cost. Local officials emphasized funds would be sought and the audible aid could cover six miles for air raid alerts.
