An innovation pulice headquarters, or the Mayor's that will insure better police protection is a bell located just outside the main entrance to the building which can be connected with the telephone and all summons to the 'phone can be heard some distance away. The bell was secured and installed through the efforts of Mayor Cavendcr and will make it possible for the residents to get into communication with a police officer at any hour of the night. Heretofore telephone calls would be answered at night if an officer happened to be in the Mayor's office or by, but many times the telephone would rlnst and there would be no one to answer it. Often these calls would bo for an officer, and no matter how urgent the need for a policeman, would be made in vain. Now with the bell installed, the 'phone is switched over to it when the office is to be left vacant, and an officer on that beat, especially, at night when things are quiet, can hear tho call if anywhere near the building.
