FIRE ALARM SYsTEM.-Messrs. Chas.
King & Sons have written as follows to
member Of the City Council: Motto
ing the agitation IN the newspapers
about the city instituting g fire alarm
system, and hearing of the cost aud
conditions upon which the Glmewell
Corporation want TO place their system,
we heg to ask if you have considered
the call-bell system as now used by the
two telegraph companies in town. We
refer in particular to the call-bell sys-
ten as used ty the Postal Telegraph
Company Tuey have circuit Of
about - boxes. which together with
me recording instrument in the office,
does not appear to have cost over 500
for the outfit. These machines are
made By the General Electric Company
OF New York city, who no donbt could
give you the exact cost OF them, snd II
sou make q purchase OF them theycan 3
erected by the present force of the cleo
t1ic light works. of this city. To our
mind there is no practical difference
between the call bell system OF the tel
egraph people and the Gamewell fire
a arm system, as they both accomplish
the same purpose of recording at CEN
trail point that someone i5 wanted at
the spot where the cali is turned in,and
We believe it would make its wants
known with equal force to the fire COM
papy as it does to the messenger boy.
These boxes being very cheap, could
be placed in every store in the city.
aud for night service, some could be en-
closed in an outside box and placed at
various street corners, or on doors of
business houses. with the key to the
outside box kept at some convenient
spot, as was formerly done in the Dis
trio. of Columbis, or, as is now done II
the District, the key attached to the out
side of the box by chain.
