WHERE ARE THE Police This is the
stereotyped exclamation when some vIainy Is done
with IMMUNITY. and often an appropriate call Il
A. for instance We have grand total OF pis police
men OF all sorts IN tins City. On Saturday the &C.
tual patrol force only SOL, and OF these only hM
are on duty at time, 80 that We have the CITY pro
tected during the worst night IN the week by
force OF $50 men. or ~ less than the full con
plement tor five Wards Where was The remain

hundred and ten blocks Is a specimen OF the manner
IN which the City IS guarded on the worst night IN
the week These statements show that the citizens
OF the Ninth Ward have some cause 10 complain d
their exposed condition.

hm enough 10 receive another layer In this way MI
Fowler has raised walls four stories hlgh On mscn
less than by any other plan His designs u ofoe
tagon shape, eighty feet IN diameter, lwaterwsse
and gas-pipes inserted into the walls. There ptos

bathing and other purposes There Is a large zee
house on the north side also connected with the VAL

the rooms are angular, presenting unique bal
pleasing appearance
