flty Clerk Eldor, who Is a very con-
tervntlvo man and who is in a position
to know whereof ho speaks, tolls us
that tho dopartmont Is costing tho city
$1,000 a year more ban it would if
proporly housed. Tills $1,000 would
pay tho lntorest on tho bonds and
give $400 a year to apply on tho prin
cipal of tho bonds, so that at tho
end of ,tho period for which the
bonds run wo twould havo saved not
only tho lntorest charge but two-
thirds of tho principal of tho bonds.
But outsldo of this financial part
is that of efficiency. No ono will quos
tlon tho statement that with a proper
flro houso the members will take a
greator Interest In tho department,
and Increased interest means greater
efficiency and efficiency Is what
counts In everything nnd especially in
fighting fires.
Wp. believe it is tho duty of tho
property owners of tho ctly to support
tho fire houso bonds, nnd that in doing
so they not only save money for tho
city but for themselves lndlvldunlly
as well.

Guarding the
Long Distance Lines
Against the Elements
Tirelessly and unceasingly our maintenance
forces guard our long distance lines against
storms, fires and other unforeseen destructive
forces.
Constantly the telephone circuits are
watched, tested, kept in order, and in cases of
trouble repairmen hurry at once to the scene of
the difficulty, regardless of weather conditions.
Early every .morning tests of all the long dis
tance lines are made with delicate electrical ap
paratus. With these appliances can be deter
mined within a few feet the location of a broken
wire, a line loosened at a cross arm, or the
branch of a tree hanging across the wires. Any
of these will cause trouble.
A large force of men is constantly retained
by this Company, stationed a few miles apart,
along the toll lines, ready to replace poles dam
aged by lightning or other causes, to tighten
wires loosened by the wind, to renew broken
insulators or make other repairs needed to keep
the wires always ready for use. At definite
periods during the year overhanging trees are
properly trimmed to keep the branches away
from the wires.
Pole-to-Pole. Inspections Made
To insure the public against the sudden
breaking of poles by wind or sleet storms, car
rying down with them perhaps a score of wires,
pole-to-pole'inspections are made at regular in
tervals. Constantly old poles are replaced by
new ones where examinations show it to be ad
visable. When storms, winds, snow or sleet are pre
dicted tho conditions affecting each telephone
line are watched carefully. If trouble is likely
emergency supplies are prepared, and repair
men, testmen, and linemen are rushed by train
auto or buggy to the points of threatened dam
age. Carefully, constantly, and unceasingly we
guard the long distance lines to provide imme
diate and uninterrupted service.
