City council plans expanded police force and fire alarm system
The council adopted a resolution to expand the police force to seven, with a probationary sixth officer now hired. Two desk sergeants at headquarters would handle calls, fire alarms, and patrol boxes for outlying districts. Mayor Ward outlined a plan to route fire responses through the headquarters to avoid full departmental turnout on minor blazes, while supporting firemen to cooperate with the initiative.
