Asks Public COOperatiCn.-In a talk
before the meeting Of the committee
Of the whole II. c. Blackwell Of the
Peoples Light company asked that
the police department Of Davenport
work in closer cooperation with the
Peoples Light company in the matter
of keeping street lights burning all
night He suggested that as soon as
a street light was reported out by a
patrOlman or resident of the city, the
police department notify the light
company. A man would at once be
sent out to start the light again, and
in that way better system all the way
around would be secured. Mr. Black
wells suggestion that his WOrkmen
be given patrol box keys met with a
storm Of diSapproval from Alderman
Gosch Mr.. Blackwell said that by
this method the exact time that the
light was again reported burning
could be told, and the length of time
that it was out could be figured Aid
erman GOsch, in Directing to the prop
ositiOn, said that if civilians were
given patrol box keys, the fire alarm
system would be taken entirely off the
police switchboard. The fire depart
ment, he said, had enough to do with
out being walked up at all hours, of
the night by civilians ringing in. The
matter was referred to the lighting
committee. the police and fire commit
tee. the city electrician and the city
attorney.
