Thla light is to be put on a tele phone pole at the Intersection of Central avenue with Seventh atreet. Thla la to be operated by the tele phone company tree ot coat, but the expense Incident to installing It Is to be borne by the city. The object ot this light Is that It may operate as a police signal after thla faahlon: Suppose out in some of the outlying sections of the city, or close In, If the case be such, some one living there discover prowlers about their own borne, or In that lo cality, or these same prowlers should endeavor to enter a dwelling or should assault some ot the towns people, the person making this dis covery will step to the telephone and Inform the central telephone office that the services of a policeman are IT PAYS needed. Immediately the operator will turn on thia red light and tlfe policeman on that beat will aee the signal light burning and will atep to the nearest telephone and aak in what locality ot the city his services are required, and upon learning this he will at once hasten to that part of the city.
