THE DalLY EXAMINER, CHARLOTTETOWN, D®CEMBER 8, 1899

FIRE BOARD MFEITNG.-

The Fire Alarm Declared to be ina Bad Way

The meeting of the Fire Board last even-

ing was attended by Chief Kugineer Large,

S W. Orabbe and Charles He rmans, first

and second assie:ants, Captains Ranagban

and Pickard, Mr. Charlies Stewart, elics

| triciaa, and Councillors Nicholson, Hooper

and Lyons. Councillor meeting Was

Crabbe explained called to enquire

prevent conditior of the fire alarm system | ' and other matters connected, with the fire department.

He pointed out that the fire

alarm had been reprired in 1897 at a cost | cf about $590 Chief Engineer Large, in reply to qveslions, expressed the opinion that it woud be a waste Of mony to attemptio do anything with the present fire alarm system. Whil+ the epecial system con- neciing the houses ot firemen was working i well, the boxes had pever given satisfaction. False alarms hal been frequently sent in, and the

firemeo had maby an unnecessary run in all hinds of weather. He did not think there were than twelve genuine the boxes since the system abour ten years ago. alarms useally come by ielepbone or mes-

more

seager. He did not beleve there was’! another city inthe world that had an alarm sysiem ike the one in Charlotte

town It wes suitable oniy for

a hovel. Every little foreign current caused ashuuerto drop. Some time ago he bad received aletter from the Gammell people offering an alarm system with ten hoxes

and a striker for the city bell for $1100. | It migkt come higher now butbe thought a |

good system conld be put ia for be ween $1200 and $1500. Ii would be necessary to bave a msn to leok after any system that might be erected,

Councillor Crabb submitted a sample of the alarm wire in its preseat siate and a sample of the same wire whea it was put io. The eoatrast was very striking,the wire

atthe peesent time being iu a bad way |

from rust and decay.

Mr. Stewart show. was a fair sample of the alarm wire throughout the city. This wire was nota reliatle con- ductor of electrici y m ite present state. It would in copper wire. have to be pu’ in B-sxi-s there svoui! bea man to look afiertne system. He ibonght the present wires should be taken down before they fatl sud perhaps cause less of life.

Counciilor Niecbolson said the system had been neglecied. For eight months after it had been repaired only one false alarm camein. He had been told by two electricians that the present system could be repaired. He had information that it would cos: from $10,000 or $129800 to put in anew system,

Captaics Ranaghan and Pickard, and Mr. Charles Hermans agreed with what had been said by Chief Large regarding the alarm. Captain Ranaghan said 1 had been « nuisance to the firemen. Cap'arr: P ckard asked for a good system They did not wish to be ed by false alarme.

Chier Engineer Large thevght that Sileby engine could be made as good as

new for about $59, and that it would be advisable to purchase 500 feet of tew hose.

Councillor Crabbe said he would bring both matters before the Council on Mon-

| day night when he would recommend that

the suggestions of the chief be acted upon.
