ugaton.

circumstances of which the public is al

competency as a physician. He is charg-
ed with gross carelessness in the writing

D. Claiborne, the departments former
electrician.
The work of maintaining both the police
and fire department systems was consid-
cred too much for one electrician and the
matter of making different arrangements
has been contemplated some time
great deal of trouble was encountered
from time TO time on account of the ina
bility to get prompt service by the de-
partments when the wires were not in
working order This was due to the fact
that the electrician worked for both de-
partments and when needed by one. he
was probably engaged on the other. The
fire department was generally given the
preference when there were dalls from
both and the result oftentmes caused con-
siderable Inconvenience to the police de-
partment.
Now that a change has been made. one
of the first things Electrician Claiborne
Will do will be to remove the police de-
partment batteries, which have been at
the central fire station, to the third floor
of the barracks, where a room will be sci
aside for them. BY this means the svs-
TENS will be entirely separate and not in
