We will do all in our power in a case of this kind, but in no case will we be held responsible for an alarm not being given. If the city desires us to handle fire calls it should help make it possible. As matters now stand, the telephone girl would have to run out and scream FIRE! At the top of her voice, and as is often the case Sunday afternoons, she would find no one on the street and would have to ring the alarm bell herself. In the latter case, if a man cannot ring the bell so it can be heard, as was the case last Sunday, how could a girl be expected to do so? - B.R. Lean, manager.
