WatcuH Tower Is BEING ERECTED 
Work has been started on the erect- 
ion of an observation station on the 
summit of Moses hill! by the State 
forestry department, being one of their 
system of watch towers that are be- 
ing erected in zones throughout the 
state for the protection of forests from 
devasation by fire. Moses hill is in 
the Essex woods just over the line in 
the town of Essex and but a few hun- 
dred feet from the famed Agassiz 
boulder in Manchester. The tower 
will be constructed of steel, forty feet 
high with a glass enclosed room at the 
top fully equipped with a powerful 
field glass, charts and a telephone so 
that the watcher can, the moment any 
fire is discovered, notify the nearest 
fire warden in thedistrict. These tow- 
ers command a view for twenty-five 
miles in either direction, each observer 
having 400,000 acres in his care. The
