IcomIUFIcArED
Mr. EDITOR ! desire, through the medium
OF your paper, to give in charge 10 the Do
lice of the First and Second Wards a much
neglected law. 1 advised that there is an
ordinance of this corporation which enacts
that " IL shall not be lawful for any persons
to fire any gun, pistol, canpcn or
other nrearm IN any street, avenue alley
open space, public square or enclosure, or in
any other part of the city within two hundred
yards of any building 4 = 4 under a
penalty of not less tn an five dollars for every
such offence" Now, l desire to know Whether
the Waterman at the Treasury building, who
IS IN the habit OF making night hideous by
hiring Oh bluuderbuss between the hours Of
Twelve and one O'Clock, claims an exemption
from this provisiOn? If he does, it must be
because his fsvorite diversion comes within
ono OF the exceptions enumer ated in the ordi
nance; if so, desire to ask which one? Ia
1t occasioned by the performance Of any
philosophical experiment. or any theatrical
amusement or does he design it as a testi
monial of his respect for deceased persons
generally? / have been told that it is done
for the purpose of frightening the pigeons
which have accumulated under the caves al
the building in such quantities az to con.ti-
tute nuisance. I beg leave to say that, in
my opinion, the remedy is worse tn an the dis
ease. But Why should the peace of an unof.
fending and semi somuous neighborhood be
disturbed by tho reverberations which are
nightly made to roll and thunder through tina
imposing colonuade, when the desired object
might be obtained without this grievous in.
convenience Why not pull tie old BAN
d0tcn 1t is a matter of surprise to me ID a,
remedy so SIMPLE, so summary, so radio,l
and so efectual has never suggested itself Il
the legislative mind Vsy5nnl sat. Yours
truly, ONE OF rBE V1cTIys
