    Warsaw's fire whistle, "a landmark," soon is to disappear, probably by Jan. 10, 1924, according to Joseph Lessig, manager of the Warsaw branch of the Interstate Public Service Company. Elimination of the whistle at the pumping station on N. Buffalo will be made necessary by the fact that the company soon will practically discontinue its steam plant at that point. After Jan. 10, but four pounds of steam will be maintained and this is not sufficient to blow the whistle.
