IMPROVEMENTS IN SALEM.
An Electric Fire Alarm System-New
Reservoir, Etc.

Salem is keeping step with s'things
progressive The commissioners held
meeting on the 18th instant and
closed contract for five electric fire
alarm boxes, to be located as follows:
Ore near Fogle Brothers shop, one
near the Arista Mills, one in South
west Salem, one at the Salem Acade-
my and one at the Mayors Office. The
system is the same as will be used by
Winston. Both towns will be con-
nected, hence an alarm of fire can be
turned in to both places.
A new reservoir, to be built of brick
or stone, to hold one and half mil
lion gallons of water, will be erected
on the South Side and will be supplied
by large spring on the premises OF
@. A. Reynolds.
Messrs. Fogle Bros. and Fries will
erect block of handsome brick resi-
dcnces in rear Of the Boston block.

haps, will be sewerage system that
