REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON FIRE ALARM.
The undersigned were appointed a committee to put in a system of fire alarm, under an appropriation of $2,500. We therefore respectfully present the following report.
The wire, etc., for the line was purchased by the committee and placed upon the town electric light poles. This work was done by the day under the supervision of Supt. J. F. Perry. We invited bids on the apparatus installed, and were favored with figures from every concern in the business. The contract was given to the lowest bidder, the N. E. Gamewell Fire Alarm and Telegraph Company, which has fulfilled its contract satisfactorily.
We print the location of the boxes, together with the rules and regulations for their use.
Very respectfully,
F. O. WHITMARSH, T. A. WATSON, ANSEL O. CLARK, JNO. V. SCOLLARD, WM. W. MAYHEW, JEREMIAH F. GALLIVAN, O: B. BATTLES, Committee on Fire Alarm.

IN CASE OF FIRE FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS.
Alarms are to be given from the nearest box to the fire.
Break the glass in the small box, get the key, open the box and pull the hook way down, once only, and let go.
After giving an alarm, remain at the box if possible and direct firemen to the fire.
Never sound alarm for a fire seen at a distance.
Be reasonably sure that there is a fire before sounding an alarm.
The companies will respond to alarm of fire given from boxes, according to orders of the engineers.
Second alarm will be given by repeating the first, and is to be given by one of the engineers, or some one in authority.
Eleven strokes on the fire alarm whistles and bells will consti- tute a general alarm.
Two strokes slow, fire all out.
One stroke, 12 m., test signal.
NO SESSIONS OF SCHOOLS.
The signal for no sessions of public schools will be 3-3-3, sounded once on the fire alarm whistles and bells at 7.30 a. m. for the High school, and at 8 a. m. for all grades below, in the morn- ing. At 11.30 a. m. or 12.30 p. m. for all grades below the High school, in the afternoon.
