JERSEY CITY. June %, 1892.
70 the Hon. Board OF Fire Commission
ers:-
GENTLEMEN.-In nv three last annual
reports, l earnestly urged the necessity of
substituting the improved Central Office
system for the old worn cut system then
and still in service. The estimated cost was
S23 600. The action you took in regard to
procuring the system was frustrated bv
the Board of Finance who failed to allow
the money needed to Luild the system.
l would again urge upon you the vital
nee essity Of striving to obtain the required
funds orfailing in this. 10 obtain money
to reconstruct the present system.
The repeater and transmitter now in
service at the battery room | had con-
structed at my own expense in 1888. and
it has been in service ever since without
any expense to the city.
Iconld have d sposed of it to good adj
vantage on three different occasions, but
knowing the Right in which l would
leave the city by so doing, l stood in my
own light and .efrained from so doing. |
allowed 1t. to remain In service hoping
that the city officials would contrive some
means for taking it off my hands, or by
obtaining some other Instruments leave
me at liberty TO dispose of it to some other
city.
| hope your Honorable body will con-
tr1ye some means of taking 1t of my
hands by January /, 1893. AS l have a
large fafnily. and my present salary is
small in comparison with the salary of
paot1e holding similar positions in other
cities much smaller than Jersey City.
