DIR. FL, A. Ladd of Burlington, state in
spector Of the board of health, has re-
turned from Washington, d. G., where
he represented the board at meeting
of the national association for the study
and prevention of tuberculosis.
Mrs. Thomas c. Seager of Rutland
committed suicide Friday by taking q
dose of paris green. 1t is thought that
worry over carrying on large farm, fol
lowing the death Of her husband, caused
her to commit the act. She was finan'
cially well off. Four children are left
the youngest two and the oldest nine
also her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. George
WEIGH, and five brothers.
An unusual prosecution took place in
Clarendon Wednesday when Eugene Col
Inns, aged 6s years, veteran of the
Civil war, was charged with malicious
injury to public buildings. He was
found guilty and fined ST and costs
which he refused to pay, taking the al
tentative sentence of 80 days in the
county Jail Collins, who lives alone
gave parts of the schoohouse near his

SOLVING PROBLEM OF NEW YORKS FIRE ALARM SYSTEM

mediately in front of the fire alarm
building also constitutes n very serious
hazard. This is equally true of the gas
main which lies in that same street.
In planning the locations for the
street boxes the general rule which Is
now being followed as indicated on the
present plans is that in following any
street in any direction box Will be
found at every other corner. In some
instances exceptions are necessary to
this rule. The tendency in these cases,
however. is to increase rather than
diminish the frequency at which the
boxes occur. The location of the street
boxes must necessarily be governed
very largely by the nature of the prop
erty as affecting the fire hazard and
! believe the opinion of the chief Of
the department and of the various
chiefs as to the specific needs in each
locality will furnish the practical argu-
ments from which the best decision may
be reached regarding the location of
street alarm boxes I'm most instances.
The central office equipment in the
case of the three horoughs in which
new buildings have been erected is yet
To- bo designed. but in general these in
stallations shall be of such nature as
to operate properly and efficiently In

the disposition made of outstanding APP
preparations and the extent of all new
work that had been undertaken, which
found to consist of the following:
\ new central station building for
each of the three larger boroughs,
Manhattan. Brooklyn and The Bronx;
underground service cables for connec-
ton to 1873 street boxes I'm Manhat-
tan; similar underground service in
stallatlon connecting 1919 street boxes
in Brooklyn; an important underground
feeder line reaching TO southwest
Brooklyn; bridge cable connecting
BROOKLYN with Manhattan: underground
service cables for connection to IL?
street boxes in The Bronx; a similar
underground installation connecting
eight street boxes in Queens; a supply
If 9 1000 alarm post bases: a supply of
300 cast iron manholc frames. and con-
ccntrating subways leading to the new
Manhattan Central Office building and
the similar building in The Bronx re-
spcCtively.
The aggregate of these contracts
amounts to about one-tlird of the total
appropriations made thus far, all of
which were found to he IN an unfinished
state with the exception of four of the
smaller items. representing a total of
about : per cent The unencumbered
balances were about equal to the ag-
grcgate Of the contracts placed. leaving
a remainder of about one-third of the
total appropriations diverted to other
uses principally that of maintaining
the old system.
In 1865 the fire alarm plant consisted
Of twelve He'll towers or lookout sta
tons located at points of advantage,
| such as he cupola Of the city Hall
Washington Market. Essex Market. JEFF
fersun Market. Th.rty-third street.
Fifty-frst street. Eighty-ffth street
and what is now known as Mount Nor
ris Park. This latter tower. it is in
tcrcsting to note. Is still in existence.
The mode of operation was to watch
| from these towers for smoke or other
indication OF fire Ghis was done 10y the
use If spy glass; and by means Of the
Morse tel graph to signal over con-
n citing wires directly to the central

Gated 90 the department by striking the
bells at the twelve u i towers.
The central office at the C.ty Hall
was the terminus Of four lines of wire
connecting the Post office Essex Mar
ket. Union Market, Macdougal, JEFF r
son and Fifty-ilrst street towers. In
each Of these stations was placed a
main circuit magnet ana bell and a
circuit breaking key. ON these bells
were sounded the signals indicating the
districts in which the tre was located

900 and including about SIS street alarm
stations. After the installation Of this
new system the records of the depart
ment show that few difficulties were ex-
perienced for a period of ten years. In
fact. many decided improvements in its
working were effected. This installation
is the basis of the present day fire
alarm telegraph plant in the Borough of
Manhattan.
Through sheer good fortune New York
city has passed through three sensa-
tional moments when it would seem that
only the protection OF q higher power
has saved it from great disaster The
storms Of the winter just past called
for a patrol of one thousand men and a
period of disorder of the circuits for
about thirty days. The amount of labor
and material expended in the restoration
Of the old and decayed system, except
| for momentary needs. constitutes an
outlay for which there is no return.
Overhead" wires are the most costly
| to maintain as they are subject tn in
jury by every storm that occurs. New
work of this character can hardly be
completed before defective conditions
arise through Interference from other
overhead wiring systems
Underground" systems are less costly
to maintain, and when properly installed
their life IS several times that Of over
head circuits carefully installed.
Manifestly the central office must be
surrounded by every possihi" safeguard.
as it's security is imminent To the sue
cess of the entire fire cXtnguishing
forces.
1t was strongly emphasized in the
preliminary plans that the central
office of the fire alarm telegraph sys-
| TEN should he afforded the maximum
degree Of protection against hazards Of
Iany nature, and in order that ii should
! occupy a place which would form an
economic and safe centre for the cable
system covering the area to he pro-

Meeting SiXty-fifth street on the west

decision having been reached as the re-

advantage. but unfortunately its exact

adaptable to any changes in the routine
of the fire fighting forces that may III
future be considered necessary or adVis-
able by the proper Fire Department au-
thorities. These conditions were largely
defined in the preliminary plans pre-
pared BY Messrs Carly e Miller ana IL
is the intention of the present admins
tration TO observe as closely as practical
conditions may permit the principles OF
engineering that have thus already been
laid down in the preliminary plans for
modern system on the Island of Manhat-
tan, carrying the same drastic measures
into the design of the complete system
for all boroughs to such an extent as
would apply to the downtown or more
congested portions of all bOroughs where
property values, congestion and risk OF
life and property are great.

In the matter of dangers due to con-
tinucd use of overhead circuit, the city
has awaited itslf Of the opportunity

to the elevated railroad structure both
in Manhattan and in Brooklyn. and

Thus the city Wiil he abe To- install
