FIRE ALARM SYSTEM.
The Telephone Company Explains Their
 Position in The Matter.

To THE EDITOR or THE CocoNrNo SUN:
 am informed that at recent meet ing of the Fire Department, our Mayor stated to the members and citizens that the proposition of the Flagstaff Mutual Telephone Company to put in fire alarm embodied a demand of release from taxes, etc., amounting to about $24.OO per quarter. In justice to all parties concerned, permit me to state to the members of the Fire Department and citizens of Flagstaff that the prop ositiOn referred to was in writing and in the following words:
 FLAGSTAFF. Ariz., April 3, 1899. Hon. Mayor and Council of Flagstaff:
 GENTLEMEN
 With the assistance of private indi- viduals to pay for the materials, we will purchase and place in position on the town building in Flagstaff, one Electro Mechanical Gong, not less than eighteen iuches in diameter, connected by wire with our central office, in con sideration of the release from the pay ment of any and all past dues against this company on license tax, and when said gong is in position and connected as aforesaid, this telephone company will give alarms at any and all hours of the day and night from It's central office whenever the same shall be an. nounced to the central office from any phone in use in this system. The town to be districted and system of signals arranged by this company, which will announce at once, by the signals, the district in which the fire may be reported. Respectfully submitted,
 Flagstaff Mutual Telephone Com pany,
 By J. E. PALMER, V. P.
 K, s. GOSNEY, Sec. and Treas.
The Coconino sun., 1899-04-22
THE CoCONINo SUN.

The license tax from which the com. pany asks to be released is $500 per quarter. We do not understand how so plain proposition could have been misunderstood.
 We wish to state further that the Flagstaff Mutual Telephone Company is a purely mutual company. The citizens who organized the company and put it into operation have done so without demanding or receiving one dollar for their time or services, but wholly for the benefit of the public. The only party receiving salary is the parties operating the central office, and that salary. $5O.0O per month, is very small compared with the service they are giving the public. It would cost the town at least $l,OOO.O0 to put in fire alarm as extensive as the one offered. and it would then he less eff cient. No license tax was ever charg- ed for Telephone company in Flagstaff until the organization of the Mutual company, which was purely for the public benefit and not for income.
 License tax is intended as tax upon a business carried on for gain. We feel that the town of Flagstaff has, in principal, as much right to license the fire department IS the Mutual Tele. phone company, aud in asking that they remit the license tax, amounting to $5.OO instead of $24.00 per quarter, we are only asking that the council undo wrong done to public institution, in connection with which we offer the town of Flagstaff an efficient fire alarm system free of cost and expense and thus cooperate to the fullest extent possible with our public spirited mem bers of the fire department.
 Very Respectfully,
 E. s. GOsNEY.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF Figs, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIa SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually.
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per.
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and sub
stance. and its acting ON the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants. by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIe SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
