You will find your account in following up those
remarks, with illustrations of the expediency Of ex

with view to this, survey has been already made,

charter be obtained, and the books opened for sub

your remarks, been 80 forcbly impressed with the

city. Developments connected with the arrest OF

days. have brought TO light no less than fifteen cases

While such state Of affairs exists in city, the
public authorities should be increasingly vigilant,
and the Mayor as the head of the Police, should Of

those concerned in this double crime of burglary and
arson.
There is reason to believe that the recent fire in
Maiden lane and Water street produced by
such agency and concerted plot the part of the
burglars that now nfest our city, might repeat the
memorable scene of December, 1885, when millions
were destroyed in one night

adopted, would do more TO prevent destruction by
fire, and loss by robberes, than any other that can
be suggested, but in the time something should
