Factory Fire Alarm Boxes in Moline to Be Numbered
The Moline fire alarm system will re designate all factory boxes from 100 upward to distinguish them from street boxes. Four factories have adopted numbers 100 and above, with 114 117 and others noted. The change requires a new whistle pattern to indicate blazes and directs callers to notify the central station directly. There are thirty nine alarm boxes in the city, ten of which are factory boxes. W Stockman provides 2000 new cards with lurching instructions for distribution at the Western Union office.
