The last two remaing lights.
The light fixtures that are on this plague are
the only two remaining. They were hung on light and power
poles along Main Street in Logan City to notify patrol
officers of calls for service. As calls came in to the
communications center, dispatchters would flip the switch and
the red lights along Main street would light up. Officers
walking their beat would then locate a landline phone and
contact dispatch. They were abandoned in 1972 with the advent
of handheld radios. These are the only two that were preserved
in 1991. The others were destroyed. |
