Show CALLING OF PATROLMEN IS TO BE FACILITATED Salt Lake. March 23. In an effort to facilitate the calling of patrolmen to headquarters in emergency cases, the entire oity is to be equlppod wltn a red light signal system, such as is employed In Ogden and several cltle iu neighboring states. The plan is to install a light upon electric light poles at various corners In the center or the city. The lights can be turned on from the sergeant's desk at police headquarters, and the very fact that the light is burning upon any policeman's police-man's beat will mean for that ofneor to got into instant communication with his superiors. The new Blgnal system has been brought about through the fact that ot late numerous burglar calls have been lecelved at headquarters, with no reserve re-serve officers there, and It has beon necessary to And an officer about tho streets before the call could be properly prop-erly answered. |
