Two GLASSES Of stn,i.lic. Needed.

The present mortuary reports, compiled and
published monthly, are of interest and value,
bi' they would be much more so, if made week
H. This is the custom in all the large cities,
and it should be adopted in Wilmington. The
existence Of disease is then promptly discovered,
and means for its check can be at once applied.
II Ii of interest, too, to the public to be inform
veis than once month.
The second class of statistics needed is the
lii Of buildings erected in the city, and this
could very readily be obtained. A permit to &C.
eupy part of the street, with material, is obtain
e. from the Mayor, whenever this is desired by
a auilder. All that is required to be done is to
at1pt the plan OF other cities and have the per-
sen applying for this permission to specify what
h intends to build This would secure an &C.
cirate and complete record of the new struct-
u'es, alterations, and repairs, made throughou
each year. and enable the public to observe
closely the progress of the city.
Will not some member Of Council take these
two matters in charge, aud introduce ordinances
erecting the needed amendments 7
1t may be worth adding, just here that the
bulding statistics, heretofore have been col
lected by private enterprise, and though the
work was regularly done, for several years, we
have no full or reliable report of 1871. The esti.
mates made by the Secretary of the Board of
Trade, i'll his annual compilation Of statistics are
tho only data now to be had on the subject.
