Library, U of O Derno ffalREagie VOLUME 33, NUMBER 14 Report System For Fires Told Council Curb Change for Washington Avenue Approved Monday I A system to be installed for porting fires wb’n the dial con- vtrsion takes place here July 16 was outlined to city councilmen Monday by Fire Chief Bob Thompson who had studied the system with J. M. Goodrich, West Coast Telephone company representative, a few days be fore. The present system of sound- ing fire alarms will not be use- able when the dial conversion is completed, hence the reason for setting up a new method of alarm. The proposal, which is in op- c.-ation elsewhere in th? West Coast system where dial phones are used, provides for one main phone at the fire station and up to six extension phones in homes of key personnel of the f.re department. When a fire is to be reported, the central phone number would be called and the ring would be htard at the central station and on all extensions. Any one of the extension phones would be equipped with a button which, when pressed, would sound the a arm. Location of the fire would be given by the individual re porting it the same as is done under the present alarm system Councilmen authorized remov- of present curbing on both Ci . s.ies of Washington avenue from N rth street to the alley between North and A so that when the <■. -bing. project is done this sum mer a wider street can be pro- v.ded at this point. The remaind e. of Washington avenge to be curbed will provide for a wider street and if the change had not been authorized, this half block would be considerably narrower Only other official business M nday was adoption of a res olution providing for acceptance of the bid of Frank Kanehl for the sewer construction job. Senior Class Offers Mystery On April 22 the senior class will present Robert St. Clair's thrilling mystery comedy entitl ed "Tiger House" in the high school auditorium. The clever, mystery play, which has been played by more than three thousand schools after a lone, successful run on the professional stage, is laid around an isolated country estate called "Mystery Manor" because of the alleged hauntings. Erma Lowrie, played by Yvonne Russo m, has inherited the es- late from her eccentric aunt, and according to the terms of the will she must occupy the house for a period of two years. Erma's cousins. Arthur Hale, Pat O'Brien; and Oswald Kerins. Hank Bass; her living aunt, Odcan Blount and Peggy Van Ess. a friend. Dorothy Gwin, are a'. house guests when things be- . n to happen, ^nd then—wall, y ,u must see the play to learn of ■ mysterious d tails. There is a delightful thread of romance, , ean and highly-amusing come dy; and although the mystery ele ment dominates, there are no dead bodies, no shots fired and r ung really gruesome happens. rand Concert April 15 The annual concert by the Ver ma high school band will be . ven in the high school auditori al-n Apnl 15 at 8:00 p.m.. a week earlier than previously announc ed.
