COUNCIL DISCUSSES
ELECTRIC FIRE ALARM

At a meeting of the city council,
Monday night, some time was given
to a general discussion of an electric
fire alarm system for Ely. This mat
ter has been before the council for
some time, but nothing has been
done towards the installation o. the
system, as was voted, from the fact
that the cost was found to be more
than was at first estimated.
The Gamewell Fire Alarm Tele-
graph Co. has submitted a proposition
TO provide the city with a complete
system including alarm boxes, switch
board, compressed air whistle, four
miles Of wire and other accessories,
70. the sum of 1885. The con-
tract price also includes the services
of an expert electrician to superin-
tend the work of installation, but
does not include any other service.
A letter was produced at the council
meeting from the fire underwriters of
the Pacific coast, stating in effect
that i modern fire alarm system in
Ely, would probably bring about a
reduction of fire insurance rates to
Ely property owners, of five per cent
on brick buildings and six per cent
on frame buildings.
Ed. Willard, who is an advocate of
an electric fire alarm system for the
city, called attention to the PROPOSE
ton from the Gamewell company, to
lease the city an adequate system, by
payments of $S1.10 a month, for a
period of five years, at the expiration
of which time the system reverts to
Ely, witout further payments. He
argued that the saving In fire in
surance rates would more than off
set to tax payers the cost of the sys-
TEN.
This led to the question as to the
full meaning of the letter from the
fire underwriters, City Attorney
Boreman being of the opinion that
the reduction in fire insurance rates
would not be forthcoming unless the
city maintained a paid fire depart
ment in connection with the alarm
system.
Mayor Parker took the stand that
the expense was too great TO be I'M
dertaken at this time. and that the
increased taxation would have to be
borne principally by wne of I'M
improved property, who would de-
rive no benefit from the improve
ment.
The discussion ended by instruct
ing the city attorney to send the
specifications to the board of fire un-
derwriters, for definite information
as to whether the installation of the
fire alarm system would or would
not bring about the decrease in fire
insurance rates.

 A SHUT IN

The Daily Empire is in receipt of what may be called a human inter est" letter from an inmate of the Mon tana state prison at Deer Lodge. It is published in full herewith;
 Before proceeding to narrate my story to you, shall endeayor to rem der an apology, as I fully know how great is the liberty l take when ad' dressing a person of your standing and especially from an institution of this kind. As the heading of this letter will inform you, that am an inmate of the Montana State Prison, I am serving long sentence in this institution for a crime that I was not wholly to blame for, and since m luck has favored me, I am trying to make the best of my lot; and dur inc my leisure hours, that is after my days work for the state is through, I have made a beautiful all horse hair riding bridle, which represents six months of tedious and tiresome toll. The bridle consists of seven different colors of hair, and 1t is woven into many handsome and ar tistic designs, such as diamonds, flags, etc. It only has to be shown to pain admiration. And to say the least. it is a piece of work that any man would be proud of.
