ARRANGING SYSTEM
FOR FIRE ALARMS

The council committee on Fire aud
Water composed of c. o. Constable,
Clifford Brown and Herbert Hedge
met yesterday. The committee con
ferred with W. II. Daney, manager of
the Pacific Telephone aud Telegraph
company of Salem. They probably will
get ont a card outlining the rules gov
erning fire alarms, which will instruct
the public in giving emergency calls
and so help public safety. The tele
phone company indirectly acts as a
fire alarm system but the proper way
to put in an alarm for fire is to call
81. That way the fire alarm operator
is reached directly at the fire sta
tion. In calling the direct number 81
which is the first one on the telephone
book cover, errors are eliminated An
alarm for the recent Fremont fire was
given ineOherently and occaSiOned con-
fusion at the time. The telephone
operator in hearing fire call stops on
the line long enough to learn whether
or not the cal, is entered directly and
promptly to 81 so in this manner the
alarm is doubly guarded when 81 is
rung. The safety of the public viii be
better guarded when instruction and
explanation along these lines are given.

has postponed its meeting until Friday,
