FIRE
 ALARM SYSTEM

Byron A. Day. expert for the Seattle agency of the Gamewell fire alarm and police telegraph system this morn ing commenced installing the Game well automatic fire alarm system in Juneau. The transmission lines have been ready for the balance of the ap- paratus for some time and the delay in getting the system into actual use has been occasioned through inability to get the balance of the apparatus on the ground. Mir, Day said this morn ing that he expected to have the sys- tenn in working order within the next ten days and not over two weeks at the farthest.
 The equipment all told weighs per haps five tons and consists of some very expensive machinery including one four.circuit automatic controlling switch board for handling the fire alarm circuits, and one automatic bell striker which strikes the number of the box on the bell at fire headQuar- ters-for instance box 27 when pulled gives two strokes, then short space followed by seven strokes. The call is repeated three times making four times all told with duration of time between calls two and one-half times greater than the space between nu- morals, There are also in the equip ment at hand twenty-one non.interfer- ing Excelsior fire alarm boxes that are to be distributed on the four cir. cults in which the town has been di, vided. The equipment at the central station is large enough to handle sixty boxes and upwards and the system will require no additional expense for expanding to that extent except the purchase of boxes and the stringing of wires.
 Location Of Boxes.
 The alarm boxes are being placed about the city in the following loca- tions;
 First circuit-South of sawmill; op. posite city dock; opposite Union Iron Works; Cor. Franklin and First; cor. ner Third and Franklin.
 Second circuit-Swede Hill; Second and Gold; Harris and Fourth; Fifth and Gold; Fifth and East; Seventh and Gold.
 Third circuit-Waterfront at Laugh lin's corner; Main and Front; Main and Second; Front and Seward; Main and Fourth.
 Fourth circuit-Calhoun and Fifth; West end of Distin; Calhoun and Ninth; Main and Seventh; Fifth and Seward.
 The numbers for. the respective, box es have not yet been determined up on.
