The fire bell I now repaired and In such working order that the bell can be rung by the Pacific States Tele phone company's central office. In case of fire, the alarm I turned In to the central with Information aa to where It Is located, and the bell will be rung by , an electric appliance. This system was Installed a year ago, but has novcr worked with perfection until today. But, as It Is, the central cannot des ignate the section of the city In which the fire la located. To make the serv ice moro efficient, Fire Chief Jones will apply to the city council for an appropriation of 1160 to Install a r.ower nnd more efficient service. If It Is done, tho central telephone of fice can ring the bell by a code, which If common knowledge, will tell the populace Just whore the fire Is. The expert who repaired the system and put the boll In working order again, will remain In La Grande until the council tukes snmo action on the matter.
