ness There will be two 1-horse wagons,

animals to run TO their places under the
harness at the sound of the gong.
The operating desk will be in the north
west corner OF the barracks Office, and will
be attended by the sergeants.
The alarm boxes are larger than those of
the fire department, and can be operated
by two keys, a citizens and police key.
Inside the box is needle, which can be
used to call the fast wagon, slow wagon,
ambulance, telephone and make reports.
When q policeman opens the box and
wants the fast wagon, ali he has to do is
TO turn the needle to the name
on the indicator, pull lever and the alarm
Is almost instantly sounded at the barracks
Office, the indicator there pointing to the
fast wagon call. The same operation holds
good for the others
Each box is provided with q telephone,
but no one can get to it except an officer,
as the citizens key does not open the box.
1t only sends in an alarm for the fast
wagon, as 1t is presumed when a citizen
turns in an alarm he wants the patrol
wagon and officers in a hurry. The citi-
zen's key cannot be released except by an
officer, who has TO open the box and touch
an inner secret spring for that purpose.
