Dear Sir: We take the liberty of applying to youjfor assistanc in es tablishing a Weather Observing and Sig nal Station, in connection with our State Weather Service, at your place. For the workings and benefit of such a service, we ask you to refer to the accompanying paper. If we are to give your community the immediate benefits of this system there are two duties whkh will have to be performed ,' i. ' ' there. ,1 , 1st. We will want a reliable; and accurate, educated man or woman there who will take charge of the in strumentsthermometers and rain- iruaire . keep a careful record of their readings and report the same to us once a month. It must be a person who goes into it to stick and will be reg ular in it. This person is called the Voluntary Weather Observer. 1 2nd. The R. R. or telegraph agent or some person with them is to be designated to receive the daily 8.30 a. m. weather indications and warn ings, and to put up the signal flags. This is the Display man. If conven ient, the first person may do this. This is a purely volunteer enterprise and.we have no funds to expend for it. We will supply instructions,; blank forms and stationery, -franked envel opes to mail reports to us, and we will 'secure the instruments and flags for you at cost; , j But we will only be able to extend the benefits of this svstem to vpur . community in case you can get the i nri, 1, rpi ,,,1,-1 j . i -i t-u.u.1.
