FALSE ALARMS
A FREQUENT OCCURRENCE.
The clanging ol’ the fireball is almost a daily oecurter.ee in Palmerston North, and residents of tho town are becoming quite accustomed to tho rushing of firefighting machines through the thoroughfares during the busy hours of the day. Fortunately, there has been little in the way of actual fires to concern the brigade since the'beginning of the year, minor outbreaks and grass fires being tho only happenings that required any efforts to suppress. The majority of tho alarms have been false, but the trouble has been due to the unusually warm weather, rather than tho actions of mis-chief-makers. Two alarms wore received from tho one place in the course of a few days, but in each instance tho assistance of the brigade was not required. Another call was received to-day, but it also proved to be false.' 1
