BERMUDA HURRICANES
PLANS TO WARN RESIDENTS Three years ago the tailwind of a West Indian hurricane destroyed property on the island of Bermuda to the value of 2,000,000 dollars. Bermuda is not going to be caught unprepared when the annual hurricane season opens early in September. The Colonial Governor has issued a proclamation, says an American exchange, stating that the public will be officially notified of approaching storms through the Government's dockyard on Ireland Island and the wireless station at St. Georges. Signals will be displayed night and day on the Gibb’s Hill lighthouse and the signal station at St. Georges. In addition, telephone exchanges will be notified in order that householders may be informed of an approaching hurricane.
