NEW FIRE ALAnM SYSTEM

iMissiDii .Study Class meets in M. E. i Chapel,  Dec. «t)i.
The committee of firemen con.siAting of First Assistant Chief Van Riper, William Ck)mell and Archer B. Wallace are busy going over the plans for the new fire alarm system which the voters will be asked to install in Freeport. The Bvstem will consist of alarm boxes placed, at different parts of the village which will have glass doors covering a lever wrhich, when pulled, will auto¬ matically sound an alarm and at the same time ring an eighteen-inch bell, to be placed in front of every fire house and which will be heard throughout the village in connection with another alarm signal to work in conjunction with these separate signals.
Manufacturers of these systems have been in the village this week, explain¬ ing their methods.
There is nothing so much needed at the present time as an efficient fire alarm system. Freeport residents are awake to the necessity of this and will read with interest the report of.^the I ings from 7 to 9. committee on the matter. ' —
