OR FIRE ALARM SYSTEM.


Amid all the plottings and counter
plottings which have been in progress in
relation to the establishment of a new
alarm system in this city, one fact has
stood out too prominently to be either
ignored or misunderstood. 1t is that that
system which costs most money is the
one most certain to commend itself to
those of our officials with whom the
choice will ultimately lie
There are the Cregter, the Gamewell
and the auto-electric systems There is
but little money for anyone in the Gre
gier system. Hence it's appropriately
able in the Gamewell and auto-electric
systems. Hence it is that the choice will
rest between these two. Moreover, there
being more money cost in the last-named
than in the other, it's merits are fairly
certain to most deeply impress them
selves on the majority of our city legis-
lators
The history Of what we choose know
ingly to call the plottings and counter
plottings in this case is almost too long
for recital here. Il carries but one les
local Republican officials may be in the
matter of the expenditure of the public
moneys, they are neither small nor cheap.
The Cregier system would only cost a
no Ill of II &c
fore. worth any officials while to bother
about it, The Gamewell system costs $23,-
900 1t must therefore be good. 1t is
doubtful, however, whether it is quite
good. enough, especially since the auto
electric system costs $4,000 Thus do our
official philosophers reason.
There have been specifications galore
The latest is that furnished by that emf
nent local electrician and Republican
statesman, Mr.. King, of the police de-
partment, just laid before the board OF
of them emanating from official quarters
were agreed on the principle that cheap
ness was an absolute disqualification.
The Cregier system, as we have point
ed out, is cheap. Perhaps that will eX-
plain it's adoption within few days past
by the city of Chicago, which OF course
hasn't money to burn as we have here in
St. Paul. The Gamewell system, by the
way, was a competitor of the Cregier in
the Chicago bidding. In Chicago the
Gamewel people were willing to put in
their plant on a basis of something like
SIS a box. But of course that would
never do here, in this wealthy commune
ty, where we propose to pay them at the
rate of $3.50 box. This merely shows,
of course, what a much more generous
class are St Paul aldermen than those of
Chicago.
This contract is not yet let The delay
has been occasioned by the inability of
the two Republican bodies of the council
to act just as two bands of brothers
might be expected to act in such an
emergency. But they are steadily COM
ing to an agreement When they have
done so, If they ever do. on the basis of a
$2S 600, or even a $4,000 system, while as
good a plant was at their disposal for

amounts there viii be the amplest OPP
