Work on installation of twenty red
lights on the levee and in the uptown
district will start at once for the COM
pletion of the night police patrol light
system.
Since last summer, number of
plans which appeared feasible have
been carefully gone over and the sys-
TEN which will cost least and give
best service it is thought is the red
light method Police Commissioner
Gray and Chief Henry. Schevers de-
vised this means of keeping In touch
with the night officers of the police
force.
The lights will be operated by three
independent switchboard circuits in
the station office and the captain or
sergeant at the desk in charge can at
at all times call patrolman to the
nearest telephone by the simple man
ipulation of the switch.
Four of the twenty red lights will
be placed on the levee beat" and
the others will be placed between Sec
and at the junctures of alleys between
Main and Blondeau and Main and
Johnson, north and south of Main
The lights will be placed on poles, at
height of eighteen feet.
Costs Too Much.
To install the regular police alarm
and call system the same as is used
4 in cities would cost from $1,000 to IS,
900. Keokuk has not that much to eX
pend at the present time and the rec
light system, wiring, incandescent
globes and switches will aggregate
only about $500.
The need of some installment OF
call TO get an officer in a hurry a
night, has been one of the problem:
of the police department for som'
time and the new plan will handle thu
matter nicely and facilitate the worl
of the officers fifty per cent at least
it is said. The turning on of the ret
lights on many of the circuits will lie

wanted.

and best order at all times and TIL
