FIRE! FIRE! FIRE! CO-OPERATE with the City and the Telephone Co. in reporting FIRE CALLS ONLY to the CHIEF OPERATOR The method of reporting a ii e in the past to the operator answering the phone call necessitate d the holding up of every other number wanted until the tangle could be straightened out relative to getting all thy necessary information from an excited party- reporting the call to the lire department and water works. t'nder the present system, this will bring the confusion in the office and on the boards down ton minimum, although there M AY be a little trouble for a minute or two afterwards where the operators MAY not be able to get quite as quick answering time as under normal conditions. The CHIEF OPERATOR does not answer normal calls therefore CO-OPERATE and report FIRE CALLS to her ONLY. Co-operate with the City and Telephone Company in this matter as the SERVICE rendered is FREE of CHARGE to the CITY If this plan does not prove mare successful than in the past, the city will lie put to a great expense in installing a fire alarm • system in Decatur.
