 meet outstandiuii' liabilities. 



During the year the watch boxes, burglar alarms, time clocks and 

 call-bell system were overhauled, and the unserviceable wire connected 

 therewith removed. The latter was leplaced with okonite wire, nearly 

 8,000 feet being required for this purpose. The telephone system has 

 also been overhauled, the old wires having been removed and new 

 ones substituted. Owing to the small appropriation for heating, light- 

 ing, and electrical service, it was found necessary to reduce the number 

 of telephones in service. This was reluctantly done, as the telephone 

 has been very useful in taking the place of messengers.
