This resolution instructed a committee to see the management of the telephone com pany for the purpose of learning what rates can be secured for a ono or five-year lease of the instruments. Member Hess desired to have the tele phones put into the public schools as a means of fire protection. When he Intro duced his resolution he declared thai there is no means better than the telephone In giving an alarm of fire. He declared that the school buildings aie at present very Inadequately protecied in this respect , tie- cause the fire alarm boxes are in many cases situated far away. About a year ago the board considered the advisability of placing telephones In tbe * choolfi , but it did nothing because the telephone company refused to cut the regu lar rate for them. This is 14 a month , the figure at which the lioard rooms are sup plied with the instruments. Hess says , how ever , that the company is prepared to do better now. Thirty Inj o for n DOIT Tnn.
