Salisbury's Fire Bell Has Cracked, Sept. 28, 1925

Faithful Fire and Curfew Bell Cracks and Ends Long Service

Salisbury, Sept. 27—After 29 years of faithful service Salisbury’s fire bell has been put out of commission. It is cracked. For years the bell has tolled a curfew at 9 o’clock each night besides striking at noon each day and calling the firemen out at all times of the day and night. A new bell will be installed along with a number of new street fire alarm boxes.
