Tacoma Fire Alarm System
Is Credit to Man Retiring

When Charles L. Thompson,
whose pension retirement was
granted Monday. joined the fire
department As a temporary line
man March II, 1918, Tacoma S
fire alarm system was rated at
zero by insurance underwriters.
A year later. when Thompson
was promoted to superintendent,
the system was still nil, but
Thompson by that time had made
the system his hobby as well as
his job, and 1t became only a mat
ter of time until improvements
were bound to be made.
Today Tacoma boasts one of
the finest fire and police alarm
systems In the u. S.--a model for
other cities of similar size and
larger. Underwriters rate 1t in
the second class, which Is con-
sidered high, indeed.
The change didn't come about
overnight. though.
$4,000 Bond Issue
Thompson had to wait until
1929 to realize fully his plans.
Tacoma voted a bond issue that
year and from il was taken APP
proximately $3.50, 900 for Thomp-
sons system. BY 1881, Thompson

had installed 1t, and consensus of
property owners. well aware OF
decreased insurance rates, was
overwhelmingly in favor of the
investment.
Fire Chief Emory Whitacre and
every man in the fire department,
for that matter, are proud OF
Thompson. They hate to see him
retire. He didn't want to, heaven
knows. I'll health forced him to it.
Native of Oregon
Born in Polk county, Ore,
Thompson was only two months
old when he came to Tacoma.
He has been here ever since-55
years. He graduated from high
school here, but he has never
stopped studying. Though unable
to attend college, there have been
but few years since his high school
days that he hasn't spent consid-
cradle time in study, depending
entirely on correspondence courses.
He Is a past state councillor of
the Junior Order of United Amer
lean Mechanics and. at the pres
ent time, is secretary Of the
Northwest Municipal Signal as
sociation. He lives with his fam
lily at Titlow beach.
