The Mayor Pro-tem announced that the Mayor and City Manager were in New York regarding bonds. MR. JIM WILSON, Assistant City Manager, reported that at the request of the Council the Austin Fire Safety Board had made a study of the feasibility of an emergency reporting system for fire and police, and had recommended to the Council the adoption of the Bell System Telephone Reporting System. He stated the locations, the number of instruments, etc. had been firmed up and they were ready to enter into the contract with the Telephone Company for the installation of this system. There will be 192 stations covering all shopping centers and all schools, except the University of Texas who asked for ll additional instruments to be put on their campus at their expense. He stated the key rate for Austin was 174 and of this 74 was charged for not having a reporting system. If the system is installed as planned it will reduce the key rate by 44, not receiving the full 7 as the instruments are not being installed at every point. The cost would be $31,000 a year on the system, which includes both station rates and the line rental to each one of the instruments; and a one time installation cost of $7,080. He said there would be a savings of $55,304 to persons in Austin buying insurance. Equipment and locations have been approved by Mr. Hawley, State Insurance Board. Mr. W. L. Heaton, Fire Marshal, and Mr. Les Phares were present in the interest of the System.
