The greatest virtue of a body of fire fhrhteriie is rapidity of organized action and oftentimes the greatest effort to heat back the consuming fhunes are tu- tile because at a late arrival to gain the advantage over a speedy proposition one must be speedy and in the case of tire there must be an etreetive fire alarm system. If arrangements could he made with one of our factories, and have a five whistle attached. have an alarm box in each ward, with wires strung from these boxes, to which ever plant was secured where there should C he placed an "nnqnciatur, which would register the ward from which the call was sent in and h!urirurapuhlie code alarm, the man on duty could at i once give the proper whistle alarm. This 'irpplifies matters and aids ma ‘ termlly in gis ing the firemen a chance to get started as soon afterthe alarm as possihle. Many an otherwise incou. sidershle fire has gained headway simply because of a. tardy or confused alarm. The quickest possible means for conveying all tire apparatus to fires should always be provided for many otherwise well equipped companies fail to do their best because there' is no ed- equute menus of promptly getting stsrted as soon as they should.

We have a good tire company of young man here, we have good fire fightink appliances, hut tin-re is some- thing we have not got, a. proper alarm system. and it appears to me that there is no reason why we should not have an effective one, of quick t'ommunictstion to give notice to the tire Dept. when a tire occurs. I consider it among the most Import- ant. and very first duty of the municip- 'tlotrlee" of ever! town to provide for the protection o the lives. the homes. and property of its citizens against fire.
