DEMAND FpRJ)AnAGES Damages Demanded of the City For Loss at Person St. Fire Attorney Robert C. Strong Makes Formal Demand on the City for Damages Resulting From the Fire on Person Street August . Attorney Robert C. Strong today made a formal demand on the City of Raleigh for damages because of the loss of property in the fire on South Person street Monday morning, Aug-, ust S. It will be remembered that the, tire alarm system failed to work properly that morning, wffieh delayed the ar rival of the fire companies. There was also criticism of the low water pres sure. Two houses, one beloncimc to Mr. Spruill and one to Mr. Moore, were destroyed, and the tenants lost most of their personal property, amounting to about $1,600. This morning Mr. Strong sered the formal demand for damages on the city by handing a copy to Chief of Police Stell. The "demand is as follows: Aug: 16th., 1910. To the Honorable, the Mayor and Board of Aldermen of the City of Raleigh. Gentlemen: I hand you herewith, In behalf of my clients, an account against the City of Raleigh for damages incurred by them at a tire at 317 South Person street, Raleigh., about 9 a. m. on Monday, August Sth., 1910; and hereby make demand on the City of Raleigh for its payment. Prom information received from persons In position to know, the city has been negligent in keeping in re pair the Oatnewcll Fire Alarm System, and from this negligence damages arose directly to my clients .in the amount stated in the attached account. - The Gamewell System of Fire Alarm was adopted and installed . by the city some 17 years ago, and covering a period from at least 16 months ago to the present time, It had been run down to such a state of inefficiency as to have become, on a .number of occasions useless and worse than useless. Re quisitions had frequently been made for material necessary to keep the line in proper repair, which the Board of Aldermen' either ignored or permitted to be pigeonholed by committees. 1. On the date above mentioned the alarm boxes were in such condition as to render '-'thorn useless In sending in the alarm for the fire. Two companies were told of the fire, and being near, located it by the smoke. Eventually, an alarm was sent In, but it struck 211, and there was no such box, and at least one company prepared to go out but had no Idea of the direction, when it erroneously understood by phone that the fire. Was on North Person Street, At first the impression was that the boxes- were being tested, but It was generally'. thought that the sys tem was in such a bad shape as to be unreliable. I have heard that it is claimed that the wrong number was struck because nnother alarm had been sent in on the same line, and therefore the strokes of the bell had been mingled and con fused: but under the Oamewell Sys tem, an alarm sent from one box will lock till the other calls on the same line, automatically, rendering this practically Impossible. 2. Within the door of each alarm box. the key of which Is kept by the chief and certain other high officials of the fire department, !s a push but ton whereby calls can be made for direct pressure, and for the new fire engine purchased for emergencies of the kind existing at the fire complain ed or. The larm failed to ring prop erly, no one was there to take charge of the firemen or to send in the call for direct pressure or for the fire en gine: and If they had been there, the call for direct' pressure and for the engine could not have been sent'ln owing to the condition of the Gamewell System at the time. The call for direct pressure from a box in good condition rings at the Water Tower and at the Pump House, Acting under the neces- t'ity of the case, a good citizen 'phoned the Water Tower for direct pressure, and as he was an ex-officer of the fire department and a member of one of the companies, his Call was obeyed, though he was without authority , to make it. This was done before the 'chief came upon the scene of the fire, but a long time after the fire had obtained good headway. It was after this that some one had to go for the emergency pre engine, which arrived after the fire was under control. 3 Under my reading of the contract between the the city and the Water Company, the former has it In its power to force the latter to supply a sufficient pressure, and is responsible if the Water Company fails in its duty to do so. However, I believe, from my investigation, that direct pressure,' If obtained in time, would have been suf ficient for the extinguishment of (he fire, and that if the alarm had been In reasonably good condition most of the loss would have been prevented. The above is In outline, but If more than meets with the requirement of the law that demand for damages must be made of a city before entering suit for damages, etc. I recognize that a city can not be held legally liable in damages for a judi cial, legislative or discretionary act, but, all of these functions were dis charged, in this Instance, upon '. the adoption and installations were, dis charged, In this Instance, , upon the adoption and Installation of the Game- well System, and- it is only for the failure In the ministerial duty to keep m proper condition and repair tHis system that I think the city can be held: and for this position I have high authority. Besides, under Its -charter and the genefal law the city is charged with the dutv to nrotent the Dronerty of Its citizens from fire. It: Is given We means of dplng; so. Th.eiefore tfte long line of "authorities of our own state that a city Is responsible In dam ages to the person injured by reason of Its negligence in reapecj; 'to Hs streets and jails, is directly in point 'Yoorj respectfully, (Signed) ' $ ...

Omega Beckwith, a deaf and dumb colored boy, died last night at St, Agnes' Hospital as the result pf being struck by a Southern train near Sel ma yesterday morning. The boy was riding a bicycle along the track. Soon after the engineer saw him he got off his wheel and stepped from the track and the engi neer, not knowing the boy was deaf thought he was getting out of the way of the train.' --Just before the train reached the point where the boy was he stepped back on the track and was struck, being fatally hurt about the body and legs.
