NEW SYSTEM COMPLETED.
Effort Made to Have Still Bet.ct By.
leiii Attached to File null.
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.
