Steps are being taken to discourage that poor joke of turning In a false alarm over a Gamewell box. The next man who does it will likely land in Jail, especially if there is any one around to help him enjoy the joke. Mayor Shilling announces that the fire commissioners have instructed him to offer a reward of J50 for evidence that results in the arrest ant) conviction of any one turning in a false fire alarm on the Gamewells. The money will be paid out of the fire department funds.

The commissioners and the mayor explain that it is a serious matter to turn in a false alarm. There is danger of a serious accident every time the department has to make a run. Two false alarms were turned in list Saturday night and this was too much for the commissioners. It Is thought the reward may 'put a stop to the practice. If it dnes not there is a chance that some one will get caught in the act, and some spectator will get $50, and the culprit will stand a prosecution for malicious mischief.
