wires suspended thereon, that shall not be
done except by direction and approval of
the Superintendent of Fire Alarm.
In view of the object to be ACCOMPLISHED
the Board of Fire Commissioners respect
fully request that the City Council will
pass the following order or resolution:
That the Board of Fire Commissioners
proceed as soon as practicable to extend,
renew and repair the present fire alarm
system as set forth in their report recon-
mending the same to the City Council
dated May Is, 1888.
Respectfully submitted.
By order of the Board.
F. R. DE1ANo, President.
May Is, 1888.
The following report of the Superinten-
dent of Fire Alarm system accompanies
the foregoing.
Also,
Requirements of Department
To the Board of Fire Commissioners:
In accordance with instructions passed
at the last meeting of your honorable body,
I herewith submit statement of the con-
dition of the Fire Alarm Telegraph as I
found it, and the present requirements for
its improvement. The lines are con-
structed on the loop plan on one line of
poles and on short crossarms, thereby
being liable to cut out part if not all of
the city from receiving an alarm Of fire in
case of heavy wind storm or any inter
ruption of the wires. The greater portion
of the lines are poorly insulated and in
many places wires are in trees, causing an
escape or leakage of the current in wet
weather, thus being liable to cut out a
part of the city from any means of giving
an alarm in case of fire. I have insulated
about five miles of wire and trimmed
number of trees, so as to get portions of the
lines cut out in circuit.
There are now two signal circuits or
loops, and one talking line.
Loop No. takes in a part of the Third
and Fourth wards; loop No takes in part
of the First, Second, Fifth and Sixth wards,
making very long loops, thereby running
a great risk in case of any interruption of
lines. For instance if the wire should
from any cause get broken at the st. Paul
Plow Works, the First, Second, Fifth and
Sixth wards would have no means of
sounding an alarm in case of fire until the
break is repaired.
would recommend the putting in of
two more circuits by dividing up the
two loops and building lines on separate
streets, thereby making circuit instead
of the long loops as at present.
To make the proposed changes IN order
to perfect the system, l will need the fol-
