A new innovation which has been put
in operation in Mount Holly may prove of
great convenience to those having tele-
phones In case of fire, burglary, where
the services of policemen are required, or
for any other important matter, a call
may be sent in to central, stating the
nature of the trouble, when the night op-
orator will ring up police headquarters
This will cause gong to be ruug which
has been placed on tree in front of the
office of Squire Slack Th9 ringing of
this gong will attract the attention of the
police, or some one likely to notify them.
The officer answering the call will enter
the office and receive the information,
thus placing him in a position to act
quickly. The idea is very good one.
