RURAL CARRIERS TO| STEPHENS IS FIRST
RECEIVE PAY FOR APPOINTMENT On
INCREASED MILEAGE THE RURAL ROUTES

Seaborn R. Stephens, of Americus,
is the first rural carrier announced
under the civil service appointed to
cne of the three routes going out of
Americus, because of recent exam
ilation. He will take the oath and be-
kin service 'on November list. Mr..
Stephens stood the highest exammina-
ton, and is the first name on the eligi-
BILE list.
There are three other appointmnts
rnder the civil service to be made. and
gratifying averages were made in the
examinations recently passed by ap-
plicants. Several of the averags
reached as high as IS per cent.
The civil service is a competitive
branch of government, where efficiency
is rewarded by appointments. Accord
ing to Postmaster D. F. Davenport, no
official of the government has power to
stay the results of these examinations,
and despite the fact that often many
good men are deprived of their service
with the government because of civil
serbice.

BUSINESS MEN ASK
FIRE PROTECTION
Present Request for Better Fire
Alarm System to the City
Commissioners.
SEEKING FOR LOWER RATES

f. s. King. president Of King-Peck Co,
and other members OF the Retailers
association. appeared before the city
council committee of the whole. to urge
the commissioners to install a modern
fire alarm system. according to an enact
ment OF the last legislature.
The commissi oners were impressed BY
Mr. Kings presentation of an excerpt from
the report of the National Underwriters.
setting forth the antlquated condition OF
omaha's present fire alarm system
We contend that the installation OF
an up-to-date fire alarm system would
have the effect OF reducing insurance
rates in this city. We wish to bring this
matter to your attention and have you
begin to think Of it seriously" stated Mr..
King.
Behind the Times.
The report of the underwriters sets
forth the need OF an improved system,
particularly in the business district 1t
notes the lack Of sufficient boxes with
glass-covered keys and adds that signs
showing the location of Keys are lacking.
In a general way the present system is
shown to have fallen behind the growth
and needs OF the city
The 1915 budget, passed by the council a
few weeks ago. included 800 for motor
ing the fire department and for installing
an alarm system. The legislature pro-
vided for an annual expenditure OF this
amount for five years. II Is estimated that
modern fire alarm system for Greater
Omaha will cost about 100000. and
could not be installed in much less than
two years.
VIII submit Plans.
Commissioner Withneh of to fire de-
pertnent states he has had this matter in
mind for some timo and expects to have
plans and specifications prepared for the
new system within the next few months.
| This matter will be taken up again next
Monday morning by the committee OF the
whole. In this connection the Nebraska
Telephone company presented an estimate
of the cost OF connecting the South side
fire and police alarm systems with the
Omaha system. TO cover the interim UNI
til new system shall have been installed.
another contract will be made with the
telephone company, probably for two
years.
The telephone company now maintains
and operates the fire and police alarm
systems under a contract with the city.
