Coat Of the ,Ietropo,itan Police.

The fiscal year of the police department
commences on the first of October
Since the first of October, 1870, the
treasurer of the Police Board has re-
ceived in cash from the State Treasurer, On
account of the city of New Orleans, the
enormous sum of four dollars and thirty
three cents, and in Metropolitan warrants,
$402743 50.
The Picayune saws that in the month of
June the city expended $l66,0OO for the
Metropolitan police. This amount repre-
sents, probably, Metropolitan warrants re
deemed by the city during that month, and
the cancellation of so much of the liabili-
ties of the city.
At the rate stated by the Picayase the
police would cost the city $l,992,OO0, when
the fact is that the yearly police expendi-
lures on account of the city will not amount
to more than $725,O This is the Plea
yuae's arithmetic, on which it estimates
the annual municipal expenditure at over
ten millions.

The beautiful advertising fountain on
Canal street. embracing two or three pa
tents granted to Mr.. j. O. Belknap, attracts
very general attention. 1t is proposed to
erect another similar fountain on the neu-
tral ground, opposite the Customhouse, and
still another opposite the Magazine market.
The patentee having disposed of half his
interest to Mr.. James Buckley, of this city,
the proprietors propose to contract for pub
lie and private fountains in all the leading
cities of the country. A fountain has been
contracted for to be erected in Chicago dur
ing the month of August, and the iron work
is already in progress at the foundry of
George Cronan in this city.
Mr.. Belknap viii leave this city soon for
Philadelphia and other cities, to complete
contracts for the erection of fountains.
We may take pride in the fact that the
patent inclosed advertising fountain is the
invention of one of our citizens; that its
proprietors reside here, and that New
Orleans foundry has the credit of casting
the first and the second fountain of this
unique design in the United States or in
the world.
