that improvement could be made the present sys
Chiefs Office calls to the district for the whereabouts
OF the fire. Now If 1t was made the duty Of every
captain q Police Or the Officer in il charge to telegraph
saved The operator at the Chiefs ofaoe would then
ceved be should telegraph the result to each district
Sergeant Owens the night operator at the Chiefs Office
makes hinseN ever ready 70 o5lse al with the infor
nation about 6res lost children, &c and think the
adoption Of this plan would greatly facilitate the conye-
nience Of the public. We hope the Commissioners OF
