Was knighted by King.

Rev. L. G. Abrahamson. A. NJ, d. D.,

DR.. Abrahamson has been minister

For the last 23 years he has been pas
tor continuously of the Salem Luther

dish-Americans.
DIR. Abrahamson found it hard to
part with his congregation in Chicago

of possible railway support therefrom.

Are Submitted.
ARE BEFORE COMMITTEE
Chief Hastings Makes Suggestion That
City Undertake Work as it Did
with Police Boxes.

1t appears that the fire and light
committee of the city council has un-
der consideration a plan proposed by
Chief Hastings of the fire department
looking toward the installation of an
automatic fire alarm system of sol
boxes. Realizing, as do the majority
of the citizens of Rock Island, that the
alarm system is inadequate. at the
present time, Chief Hastings has been
making an effort to solve the problem
of finances, and devise some means by
which the city can secure modern
system without the expenditure of
ienormous sums of money After watch
| ing the work of extending and mod
erniZing the police alarm system, Chief
Hastings suggested that the fire alarm
system be constructed in the same
manner.
| Presents the Estimates.
After consulting with Electrician
George Hill of the police department
the chief has presented to the fire and
light committee plans for the installa-
ton of a system that will be in every
way an automatic system, eliminating
the human voice and ear as an agency.
The plans call for the construction
of so fire boxes, attached to, but not
lOperated in connection with, the pO-
lice boxes. These boxes are to be
glass protected and consisting of an
alarm handle which in case of fire is
to be turned. The turning of this han.
die will set off gong in the fire de,
partment buildings, and will also cause
the box number to be registered on
the tape at the central house. The
stable doors are to be released at the
same time, and at night the turning OF
the alarm will open the electric light
currents in all of the hose houses.
Cost il Reasonable.
The chief and the electrician have
prepared estimates of the cost of in
stalling such a system, and these have
been submitted to the fire and ligh
committee. The estimates contemplate
: an expenditure of less than $1,000 TO
the entire work.
The fire and light committee will Civ
the matter the earnest consideration i
merits. The committee is PRACTICAL,
n agreed that the automatic alarm i
what is required, and if the city cal
q construct it as it did the police alarm
lsystem, the committee will probabl,
recommend the adoption of the plan
y of the chief by the council. Of cours
: there is no reason to spend thousand
d the city can install an efficient and &C
n equate one at a cost of between $50
t and 1000.
