II Nlr Enoch Camps statement approaches
truth, that police officers double their returns,
VIZ; If they arrest thirty poor devils for misde-
meanor, to show their sindefatigability, they
return thirty other Individuals ssborn in the heat
OF their Imagination" which will show to the
authorities respectable total of arrests at figure
sixty This accounts for the fact that the nice
little sum of $53O,671 90, was expended within
the last year to support the starry system
From page l8 the following information may
be gatheredi "The wharves and piers belonging
IN 40 al E 4
corporation, and those used for ferry purposes,
are estim ated worth $2,99s, 900. Revenues
for the same, for the year 1851, amounted to
$97,7O6 H." Good! A little over three and a
half per cent. is returned to the corporation cof-
fers in the shape of rent. We are not, we be-
lieve, informed how much these same wharves
and piers cost for the keeping. 1t is'a question
in our mind whether the expenditures do not
exceed the income. 1t would be wasteful piece
of economy if it were be otherwise.
On page 10 we are permitted an illumination
from the following ray of light. The tax levy
of 1852, for City Government, exclusive of Police
and Lamps and Gas, amounts to $I,696, $50
Police, $4,000; Lamps and Gas, $2OO, 900 :
total, for city expenditures, 81, ,436, $50 "Put

Under the head of ''repairs and supplies" we
find on page lO2, that the l0hitecaslaissg of the
corporation, for the year 1851, cost the people
but $7I %. Considering the official conduct of
the late Boards, we are impressed with the idea
that the contractor for this job must have been
fearfully chiseled, and unless old Cooley had it
made up to him some other way, we know not
how he has repaired the loss
