Plans For Emergency and

Couplings Used
HARTFORD. Feb. 19,—Towns and
cities in Connecticut which have dre
departments are to be called upon by
theConnectlcut State Council of Dr
fence to put into effect throughout
the entire state a plan for the inter-dropped
change of fire apparatus in em
gencies. The matter has been inves-
tigated by the council’s committee on
industrial survey, which has reported
that. due to the efforts in the past
tion. there is mutual aid cooperation
to a very considerable extent among
the various towns and cities.
The committee recognised the do
sirabiiity of a standard thread on hose
and hydrant couplings throughout the
state. but did not recommend at this
time any effort to change the various
threads now used. instead. it recom
mended most strongly that every fire
department in the state. be equipped
with a sufilcient number of standard
adapter couplings to permit of ready
mutual'aid.
The adapter coupling proposed has
been designed and; the direction of
