highly interesting communication was presented
to the Board of Aldermen last evening, by Mr.
Henry Arcularius, Commissioner of Streets
and Lamps, being his report on the Bureau Of
Lamps and Gas for the year 1852. 1t is alto
gether highly creditable production, and
shows, in a gratifying manner, the rapid growth
and Improvement in our fourishing city. 1t
appears by this report that
The expenditure 2esoeS u

The whole number of gas posts put up was

burning 1884; whole number of city lamps

thirteen and Mree-quarter miles of oil and gas,
running from the Battery to Kingsbridge.
The total amount Of mains laid in the city is
t,co hundred and t,Denty-nine miles, and those
laid last year are competent to supply l,4O0
lamps more than are now burning.
With all this, much remains to be done, and
resolutions for lighting streets churches, &c.
have accumulated far beyond the appropriations
made. The report contains much information.
in tangible shape, on the terms of the contracts
now existing, and valuable statistics are given as
to cost &C., of gas, not only in the cities Of the
Union, but of Europe, which must have been
compiled with much care and research, and on
which estimates are founded of the expenses of
burning the lamps all night. The details con-
tain great many facts Of interest-much more
so than would be supposed on superficial
view of the nature Of the document.
The subject is, moreover. one which calls for
immediate attention. as the present contract
with the New York Gas Company expires on
the 18th May next, and our citizens ought to
be enlightened by the production of this report,
in more ways than one.

SELLING REAL ESTATE FOR THE TAxEs-IM-
PoRTANT AMENDMENr-One of the most impor-
tant matters affecting the interests Of our city,
now before the Legislature is an act in refer
ence to sales for arrears Of taxes, assessments,
and water rents, for which there ore now three
separate Gales of some thousand parcels OF real
estate, in each year. This practice is destruc-
tive of security in the possession of property.
Through many causes, q notice of arrears may
fail to reach the owners, and it is necessary to
search for it through SO many different
Offices, that it is a very difficult matter for Or
binary persons to arrive at the fact; while those
whom sickness, old age. or the death OF protec-
TORS render liable to overlook, or fail to receive
a notice of assessment, through msdirection, or
to omit tax or water rent, are precisely those
who are most likely to lose their property, thus
weakening one of the strongest motives to vir-
tuous habits of industry and frugality in COM
munity, namely, that arising from the natural
desire of all to obtain possession Of home
which shall be secure to themselves when loss
ofhealth or old age comes. and to their fami-
lies after their death. The amendment has been
applied for by the Corporation, and by the
most distinguished citizens of all parties, and,
having no opposition. will, we trust, be-
come q law 1t modifes the summary
manner of selling. forbids fictitious num-
bers in assessments. secures more perfectly
a notice of arrears provides method of ascer-
tanning all liens therefor. and does away entire
~ with the sales for water rents. by merging the
arrears into the tax for the next year.
Another amendment would be desirable. The
present advertisement for sales for assessments
to take place in April next comprises. in pam
phlet form. in forty-nine pages. about three
thousand pieces of property, not arranged in the
order of locality. but SO that every property
holder in the city must carefully examine the
location of every piece, or he cannot know that
his own is not included in the sale. They should
be arranged in the order of streets and avenues,
referring to the assessments which now govern
the order of arrangement by simple column
of numbers designating them-thus twenty or
thirty thousand property owners could see ct
glance that which takes each Of them hours to
study out with great liability to error. The
BILL with this addition. would be real boon to
the citizens Of New York.
