the city of Oakland will inaugurate a po- llee telegraph and Are alarfn system equal to any In the United States. City Electrician Babcock and Fire Marshal Ball have been working for some time on the plans for the new system and the details for Its Installation are nearly completed. The greatest Improvement to be made In the present system will be In the method to be employed In sounding the fire alarms to the different flrehousoa "throughout the- city. "SYSTEM OF The city Is districted off at present and an alarm of fire for any of the districts is responded to only by' the fire companies located in that district. A second alarm calls out the firemen lii the districts surrounding the one from which It cornea, and a third or general alarm calls for the apparatus from every fire-house la the city.

i Through the present system every fire-house In 'the city it aroused by. any alarm, no matter from what district It comes. The horses are harnessed and the men prepared to answer, the alarm before it Is determined what apparatus is to respond. It is therefore necessary to un-harneps and put the horses back in their stalls should the alarm come from a district other than that in which the house Is located. NEW SYSTEM READY.

The new system, to be both semi-manual and will eradicate this annoyance. A man will be kept on duty day and night in all flrehouses and art alarm of fire will first come In on a ticker. Should the location of the fire be out of the district In which the house is located the turning of a switch will throw out the big alarm and only the firemen necessary to answer the call will' be aroused. The switch can then be operated in order that second or third alarm will call the firemen wanted. This system is in use throughout the larger cities of the east and has found to be the most practical yet inaugurated.

It Is also contemplated to remove the big bell now located at the tpity hall and the tire, whistle at First and; Washington, streets to a point farther eait and nearer the annexed district, as the down-town flrehouses are to be put a regular paid system through a recent order of the City Council, -thereby providing that all firemen shall be on duty In these houses at all times. POUICE PHONE SYSTEM. Irr.provements are also to be made in the. police telephone system. Through the present system It Is Impossible for an operator at the 'Central police station to know where a policeman Is when he reports on ly tt liphone.
