There seems to be a. lack of co-
operation between the borough ofll~
cinls and the telephone exchange. A
short time ago it. was suggested ’at a
meeting of the warden and burgesses
that snpollce signal system should be
installed in the town. whereby any
one in need of a. policeman could get
in touch with one. in case there was
no one at home at the residence or
the chief. of police. It was suggested
that a. red light could be placed In
the center of town'. which could' be
lighted by the operator at the tele-
phone exchange. The oflicor on duty‘
seeing the light could by calling cen-
tral find where his services were
needed. It would séem that at the
present time.’ although thought has
been secured and placed on the cor-
ner oi: Railroad Avenue and Main
Street. that. central does not feel that
it can be properly worked, It is
hoped that before the summer is
gone that the otYicials and the ex-
change can come to some “moment
whereby such a. signal system can be
put into effect.
