the new electrical inspector was put in charge of the fire alarm system in 1900
A new pole was set for Box No. 13, on the corner of
Henderson and Sawin streets. The gong on Hose No. 4 House
was taken off that building and placed on the top of this
pole in a wood case, with wire netting in front and on the
sides of same. The sound of this gong can be heard more
distinctly over this district than ever before, as the old
location was between buildings and a considerable distance
back from the street
========
The tower bell striker on the Park Avenue Church at Arlington
Heights was also rewired. A new foundation was put under the
striker for this bell', also the frame of the bell was
braced to prevent shifting of the same, which has caused
considerable trouble in the past.

some of the fire boxes had keys at homes ... some had keys under glass
... the new one at town hall had no key
