THIS WILL SURE
WAKE IT THE TOWN
The new* fire alarm siren will
| soon be erected on the roof of the
! fire station, according to R. B. Jul
j ian. of the Council committee who
I i.t in charge of the erection of the
| new equipment.
A contract has been made with
A. J. McDonald to erect a platform
and covering for the machine on
top of the station, with the neces
sary supports beneath to support
the weight, which Is over 500
pounds.
The siren is a double-ender and
to give an idea of its capabilities
as a noise maker, we might say
that it is driven at a speed of 3000
revolutions per minute by a five
horse power electric motor, with a
sound horn at either end. This
should suffice to aw’aken the most
sound sleeper from his dreams and
will thus greatly lessen the lire
danger.
The Council lately authorized
the replacement of the Are sled,
the old one having become quite
aged and rickety, so now a bran
new huilt-in-Nome sled is installed
in the station with the chemical
apparatus and the hose and the
ladders all nicely arranged. The
wagon has been stored for the
winter.
