20 years ago, and since that time the
city has doubled in population and

large portions of the residence and
business districts which have abso-

Will be readily seen when it is under
;tood that there is not one fire or
police box on Second avenue, and that
there Is not one box in the territory
between Ninth and Eighteenth ave
uues from First to Thirtieth streets.
There are but two boxes south of Sew
enth avenue between Thirtieth and
Forty-siXth street; only one box on
Fourth avenue and none on First ave

The only box in the whole business
district is at Third avenue and Tween

Additional boxes will be distributed

the entire system brought up to date
as early as possible.
At the present time there are only
- boxes in the entire city, and six
or seven of these are in lumber yards
and out of the way places and only
used by the institutions on whose
property they are located They are
known as private boxes Thus it can

MONUMENT TO GULLS.
Salt Lake City's Plan to Commemorate
Pioneer Experience Of 1913.

The people of Salt Lake City propose
to erect a monument concentrating
the harvesting of the first intermoun-
tain crops by the Mormon pioneers in
the summer of 1913. Just before the
crops matured great hordes of crickets
swooped down upon them from the
north. Quick destruction was threat
ened. when suddenly from the west
came an immense fight of gulls. which
settled in the fields and remained for
several weeks. destroying the crickets
and saving the crop.
The earliest Utah legislation included
laws declaring the gull to be a sacred
bird and placing a heavy penalty on
any one caught mOlesting it, says Col
lier's Weekly. Many thousands nest in
the desolate islands of the Great Salt
lake. The enrichment at the top Of
the Corinthian column that takes the
place of the conventional leaves is Of
alighting gulls, and the bronze panels
at the base carry the story of the
planting of the first western crop, the
despair of the planter when the har-
vest was being eaten by crickets, show
ing his wife welding a fail in a de-
spairing effort 10 beat back the devaS-
tating horde. and the JOY again when
it was finally gathered in after the
gulis had come.
Another panel shows the planting of
the first crop ever raised by irrigation
by the MOrmons in Utah. and Il final
panel shows the harvesting of the crop.

Is "Homc Made" system.


While this new system is not
.Gamewell system. such as has been
contemplated at different times at
cost of several thousand dollars to
the city, it accomplishes everything
which a Gamewell would accomplish.
The outside construction of the
alarm system was very defective, con-
sequently was rebuilt last fall. The
entire police patrol system of the city
was being run on one wire, or rather
one circuit, and as a result a wire
broke or a box become defective in
the extreme west end of the city the
whole system was affected, even to
the box in the extreme east end of
the city. Thus the entire system
would be crippled until the defect was
| located and remedied. Some of the
wire that was taken down was so
brittle that it could be broken be-
tween the fingers and it had evident
| ly been in service a great many years.
The new system has been divided
into different circuits and new wire
strung as far east as Twenty-seventh
street, so that if an accident occurs
on one circuit it does not affect the
whole system. Under the old ar
arrangement if a defect was noticed and
the system was refusing to work it
required man to drive some 10
miles, inspect each box in the city
and look over the entire system until
such defect was found and remedied.
and perhaps this was repeated sew
eral times before the defect could be
found. The new system confines the
one small circuit may get out of re-
pair without affecting the whole city
system.
Was Out of Date.
The instruments which were in
stalled on the old table bore the date
OF 1876 and were naturally in very
bad repair. In fact the table on
which they were installed was about
tc fall down and the system generally
was in a dilapidated condition. Wires
were strung all over the walls of the
room, and no one seemed to have any
idea what they were for. 1t finally
proved that half OF them were dead
| wires which had been abandoned from
time to time.
The batteries which were being
used required new elements about
every three months, at cost to the
city of something like $40 to recharge
