 Selma, Dec. II. 2
 The committee of the City Council on Police and Fire Department met in the tofflce of Chief of Police Walters this afternoon at 2;30 o'clock for the. pur- pose of examining the police telegraph system which representative of the Gamewell Fire Alarm Company had on exhibition in the office of the Chief of Police.
 The working of the system was ex- plained in all of it's details by the trav- cling representative of the company.
 The committee was very fayorahly impressed with the system and, It Is thought that at the meeting of the Council which will be held Monday night, the committee will recommend the purchase of such system. Prob ably the only hitch that will arise in the matter will be the number of boxes that should be put in.
 Members of the Council who are not on the Committee on Police and Fire Department expressed their opinion as to the number of boxes that should be put in last night after the Council had adjourned.
 That the installation of police tele- graph system would prove good thing for Selma there is little doubt. The city is growing rapidly and the need of these modern conveniences becomes more aparent with the passing of each day and with the putting in of the telegraph system and a patrol wagon, the police department of the city would be fully equipped
 Chief of Police Walters is anxious to have the system installed
 The city for several years has spent very little money In the police depart ment and the majority of the members of the Council seems to favor the in- stallatton of the police telegraph sys- tenn.
 Some weeks ago a committee from the Council went to Montgomery to examine the working of the system in that city. They returned very much enthused, but at the last meeting of the Council no decisive steps in the purchase of the system were taken | Each member of the Council to whom was explained the system by the rep- resentative last night was faYorably impressed with it and thought that Selma should have one.
