New Fire Alarm System Complete.

The new fire alarm system which
has been installed by the city is now
in working form and will add greatly
to the efficiency of the method of Civ
ing alarm in case of fire. The large
steam fire whistle which was recently
purchased by the city has been placed
upon the electric light plant, and
four alarm gong strikers, one for each
ward in the city, have been placed in
the central office of the Stand
ard Telephone Company. In case of
fire now it is only necessary to call up
the central Office and tell them the To-
cation of the fire, and they will at
once ring the alarm box for the re-
spective ward, which is connected
with large gongs in two separate
places in the electric light plant
When these gongs in the plant ring,
those in attendance at the plant at once
know its location and will blow the
whistle for the ward in which the fire
is located 1t is expected that this
new system will be of great assistance
to the department both in hearing the
alarm and locating the fire speedily.
The new sixty foot extension ladder is
also now ready for use, the hook and
ladder wagon having been repaired so
as to carry it.
