Remote Control Boxes
For Schools Planned
By Fire Chief Murphy

?Plans for installing inside ''re-
mote control" fire alarm boxes in all
District schools are being made by
Fire Chief Clement Murphy.
The Commissioners on Tuesday
approved the use of this type OF fire
box in the proposed new Birney
Elementary School, to be constructed
at Nichols avenue and Sumner road
Sc. Chief Murphy said he con.
sidered this an indication that this
type of box, which he opposes, should
be used in all schools.
Engineer Commissioner Gordon r.
Young said the Board of CommiS.
sioners' action in approving use OF
the remote control" boxes meant
that all schools which do not have
such boxes now would get them
eventually. He said the plan would
cost approximately $4,000 more to
put in operation than the use of
the outside street boxes proposed by
Chief Murphy.
Installation of such boxes in the
schools without them will be placed
ON the school improvement program,
depending en- how soon these items
can be placed in the budget, he
added.
At present As schools have the
remote control" boxes inside the
buildings, rs have street-type boxes
inside and all other schools have
street-type boxes located from one
to three blocks from the buildings.
Eventually the street-type boxes
would all be replaced, Gen. Young
said.
The dispute over which type of
hrebox should be installed was
touched off last month when Her
bert A. Friede, District Superin-
tendent of Communications, said he
would install cables only for the in
side remote control" box at the
Birney School. The Fire Chief con-
tended that an ordinary box in
stalled outside the school on the
grounds or in the street was prefer
able.
Total cost of the installations
would run about $l50,000, it was
estimated.
The type of flrebox approved by
the Commissioners involves mas
ter box which is located in the
street outside the building, plus
an interior connection leading to
the master box from which the
alarm is sounded.
After plans are completed and
an estimate of the total cost Is
available. Chief Murphy will allow
the question of how 1t will be
financed to be decided by the Com
missioners.
