WANT OF FIRE
ALARM SYSTEM

The need of fire alarm system
in Alexandria was never more ap-
narent than last Saturday night, OF
really Sunday morning. While most
people in the community were en-
deavoring to obtain sleep, after nav
ing tossed to and fro during the early
part of the night by reason OF the
heot. the new auto truck, with It's
piercing whip O. the will whistle start
cd down Fairfax street, followed by
the steam engines, truck and hose
wagons and many automobiles run
ming at high rate of speed. Their
objective point was the shipyard, at
the foot of Franklin street which II
was thought was burning. No lire
could be found anywhere.
The origin of all this furore, which
cost the city about S25, was the re-
suit of a heroic trick upon the part
of an enthusiast, whose main plea
sure is derived in watching fire ap'
paratus rush through the streets,
This individual had raised d wlndo"
on Prince street, near Royal, picket
up telephone upon the desk ant
announced that the marine shlnyart
was burning. 1t is unfortunate tina
tho police arc unable to indentify this
nocturnal disturbcr of the peace.
