 Telephone alarms of fire could be responded to by as many pieces of apparatus as were likely to be needed, under this system. For illustrations: It is well after midnight in January and bitterly cold. MT. west End is

RATIFICATION OF AMENDMENT FOR
 INCOME TAX NEAR
Thirty-four States Hav, Ratified and Two More
 Will Do So

Washington. Oct. s1.-By January
 first, three-fourth of the states of the
 Union will have ratified the constitu-
 tional amendment granting Congress
 power to pass an income tax law. ao-
 cording to information obtained at the
 state department today. Notice of
 approval by 83 of the 4S states has
 already been received and unofficial
 information received that two more, Ohio and, Louisiana, have recently rat
 flied the plan Thirty-six states are
 required to make the necessary ma joTity. The amendment grants power to levy a tax on incomes without apportionment among the several states without a census of enumera- tion.'' It will enable the legislative branch of the government to frame an income tax law which vii be safe from attack on the ground of uncon- stitutionality and will remove from the field of politics a stubborn issue which has furnished ammunition for debate in several presidential cam paigns.
 The income amendnent, when adopt ed, will be known as Article XVI. and will become a part of the constitution by proclamation of the secretary of state Notice has been received at

FIRE BOARD APPEALS FOR
 BOND ISSUE
commissioners

The board of fire commissioners makes the following plea for bonds:
 Vote on the Fire Department bonds
 Vote FOR them if you can. But at any rate vote on them.
 The Fire Board wants a general ex- pression of opinion from the voters. It does not wish to have the bond is- Sue 'tsneaked through"
 If the people approve, the Fire Board wishes to issue bonds for need ed improvements in the fire alarm responsibility then does not rest upon the board.
 Board asked an appropriation from the Board of Apportionment to build new Headquarters on Middle street It was explained to the Board of Alp was to house the chief, the connis- sioners and clerk, the repair shop. the fire alarm service.
 It was further explained to the Board of Apportionment that it was planed to erect this building. and then install in 1t manual system for the alarms. This was done at the open sessions of the Board of Apportion- ment early in the current year. wisdom of the plan for its members suggested that the project was a proper one for a bond issue. And so 1y into the mater-and to vote on it.
 The alarm system is now on the top floor of Chemical No. and is actually in a, hazardous place. In case of a general fire, it would be in grave dan ger of destruction.
 The proposed new building will be fireproof from top to bottom. The fire alarm equipment will be located on the top floor, isolated from all other portions of the building and other buildings.
 We, wish to make especially plain the fact that this proposed building is a general department headquarters, modern building with room in it the department and so to the advan- Etage of the city.
 It's cost will be approximately $35,- GOO, including equipment, with the ex- ception of fire alarm apparatus.
 It is proposed by the Fire Board, if this bond issue is approved, to install in this new building such 8 fire alarm system as Bridgeport needs and de- serves Fire boards for many years have recognized the fact that the city would soon reach a stage of develop ment where it's fire service would re- quire alarm system of quicker, surer action that the present one.
 The time has now come when such g. system should be installed.
 This rapid modern alarm system is a manual system. It is operated much as a telephone switchboard, and alarms can be sent out in half the time at present required. Every man should appreciate what this means; should realize how much it will be worth to him personally to have the fire apparatus on the way to a fire in

The fact that the eyes of some DOT kraits follow the observer as he moves to different positions has always been Cooked upon as a triumph of realism.
