Imp R0vEMENT
ON ALARM
BOXES
Beard Of Safety Decided to Adopt
Modern Glass Doors for
Present Boxes.

! The Board of Public Safety has de-
cided upon an improvement on the
fire alarm boxes in various portions
of the city. and when the city cleo
trician completes the work it will not
be necessary when fire OCCURS TO
search over the entire ne.ghborhood
for a key to unlock the box and send
In a fire alarm. Keys will be things
of the past, except for the firemen.
The matter was discussed last
night, and Mayor Bliss introduced a
resolution at the meeting of the
board providing that the fronts of
the door be changed by the cleo
trician, substituting glass. Then all
that will be necessary when fire oc-
ours is to break the glass door and
pull down the small lever inside the
FIRE alarm box. The glass can be re-
placed by the firemen when they re-
turn from the fire, as the boxes will
be so arranged that 1t can be slipped
into position.
The estimated cost Of making the
change is 81 per box and the board
was unanimous In declaring for the
Improvement to be instituted at
once, and the council to be asked for
an appropriation TO cover the cost
