fire alarms in any small town in
the state. It is to be installed by
the Independent -Telepnone Com
pany, and in case of hre anyone
having an Independent phone could
ring up central, who would 6imply
push a button, electrically connect
ed with the fire bell, which would
set it ringing giving the general
alarm, after which the number of
taps of the bell would indicate in

was located. After installation,

tain the system and do tne bell
ringing without extra cost to the
