Chairman Committee on Health and Cerneterv
report received and referred to the mayor
and health and cemetery committee with in
structions to confer with the Savannah. Florida
and western railway in reference to the matter
ms SPECIAL committee, consisting of the
mayor ana chairman committee on police. &C
cording to the request of council, visited 10
company with the chief of police, the city of
atlanta Sunday last, and inspected the Game
well police telegraph system.
The committee report as follows:
They iind that tbs system Performs all that is
claimed for it. The cost of the system in At
anita is:
For filing cells, repairs to Instruments, ETC.,
SIG per month. They have two operators in
Office at So per month each; and one superin-
tendent, an electrician, at 0 per month. The
committee think the operators can be dis
pensed with and their WORK performed by the
sergeant on duty IN the Office at the barracks,
and that the duties of the superinten lent could
be performed by the superintendent of fire
alarm telegraph, IN addition to the duties now
provided for him by ordinance.
Atlanta uses five horses, two for 2-horse
wagon, two for two sinEle-horse wagons and
one for ambulance.
The committee believe the service here could
be managed with one single-horse wagon and
one ambulance.
Atlanta details one officer as driver for each
wagon and an extra officer to accompany each
wagon on every call.
The committee think ordinary Iaborers could
be employed as drivers and the efficiency Of the
system equally maintained.
The total cost of maintenance here can be es-
timated as follows:
One 0 ira laborer tdriver) q 400
One extra horss maintenance, .......... 100
Repairs, exc. Observation-Disclosures. 80
Filling cells, etc. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 1914
Forty telephones at $iS per year.. -. COO
