NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC
 IN CASE OF FIRE

In order to increase the efficiency of our Volunteer Fire Company. we respectfully ask the people of Pres colt to abide by the following rules in case of fire, which will save much time and probably your property. The city is divided into four wards as fol- lows: Ward 1 is between the Mis- souri Pacific railroad tracks and East Main street on the south side; Ward 2 Is between the railroad tracks and East Main street on the east side: Ward is between the railroad tracks and West Main street on the north side and Ward is between the rail- road tracks and West Main street on the west side; for example: the court house is in Ward 1, the Park Hotel is in Ward ?, the First State Bank is in Ward 3 and the Grammar School is in Ward l.
 In case of fire call the central office and give the Ward the fire is in and central will call the light plant and the first whistle you hear will give the ward in which the fire is, as, one blast for Ward 1, two blasts for Ward ?, three blasts for Ward 3 and four blasts for Ward 1.
 We urgently request that you fol- low the above rules carefully and help the fire boys in giving more efficient and satisfactory service.
