DIRECTIONS FOR KEY-HOLDERS .- Upon the discov- ery of a fire near your signal-box. pull down the

hook, then wait a few moments, and if you hear no alarm on the large bells, pull down as before. If you still hear no alarm, go to the next box and give the alarm from that. Never open the box or touch the hook except in case of fire. Never signal for & fire seen at a distance. Do not give an alarm for a burning chimney. Be sure your box is locked before leaving it. Upon a third alarm being struck for the same fire it will be considered a general alarm. Second alarms will be turned in only by order of the Chief Engineer or his Assistants.

Keys of the signal boxes are deposited in the vicin- ity of each box, at such places as are indicated upon cards placed thereon.

The signal boxes in use consist of one hundred and ninety-nine boxes and are all automatic boxes. An alarm from an automatic box is given by pulling down the hook once and letting go, unerring mechan- ism doing the rest.

Complaints concerning the working of the Fire Alarm Telegraph, irregular striking of the bells and gongs, broken wires, etc .. should in all cases be made at the Fire Alarm Office, Brenham Place.

In case of tumult or riot, whereby the services of the Police force are required, an alarm will be given, consisting of ten strokes upon the bells and gongs, repeated five times, which will be a signal for the Po- lice to assemble at the old City Hall. This alarm will be given only by order of the Mayor or Chief of Police.

The telegraph apparatus consists of about one hun- dred and fitty miles of wire, divided into twenty- two circuits, of which thirteen are signal circuits, or circuits running to the signal boxes. Alarm gongs are located in the different Engine, Hook and Ladder, and Hose houses, each connected with the Central Office by the fire alarm circuits and eight alarm bells for striking the alarm box, located as follows: One on the Hall of the Exempt Fire Co., one on the Engine House on Sixth street, one on the Engine House on Stockton street, one on the Engine House on Second street, one on the Engine House on California street, one on the Engine House on Sixteenth street, one on the Engine House on Bryant street, and one on the Engine House on Pa- cific street. The bells and gongs are each struck at the same time by electrical machinery.
