HOSPITAL TO HAVE
FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
Contracts Made to Install One at st.
Elizabeth'S.

The contract for the installation of an
automatic fire alarm system In the
Government Hospital for the Insane has
been awarded to the Automatic Fire

tain the system until January l. 1905.

TO pay an annual rental of 1886.
Eleven Of the exposed buildings are
to be protected by the thermostatic
