George Smith. who is preparing to
build a mile railroad from the Rio

mine. expects soon to join the Hill
and Gould fraternity of railroad
magnates. Since the story was pub
lished of Mr.. Smiths intention, he
has been deluged with offers of
equipment and with requests for en-
ployment.
Il have been offered enough
equipment at bargain prices to build
the long-talked-of north and south
line said Mr.. Smith: everything
from locomotives to ties, and have
had requests for enough jobs to fill
every place from general manager
to track walker on a transcontinental
railroad | only wish could have
accepted all these offers-it would
sure have started a Joom in the

been started as yet. because of the

SIGNALS
FOR POLICEMEN

An alarm system for policemen is
one of the plans Mayor Cherrington
has in mind. and it is possible that
when negotiations are opened with
the telephone company next spring
over renewal of the franchise that
the cooperation of the company in
such system will be one of the con-
cessions the city will demand.
The plan is TO install red incan-
descent lamps on every corner in
the beat of the policemen. When n
call for an officer comes in TO the
telephone operator, she can switch
on these lights and the patrolman.
being on a contant lookout for the
signals, can use the phone and ascer-
tain where he is needed.
Very often it is difficult to secure
a policeman on a hurry call and the
mayor intends to take up such a
plan at an early meeting of the
council. The commissioners feel
now is an opportune time to make
such request from the phone com
pany.
