the city continues to occupy the minds of property

streets in front of their residences The majority Of the
complaints related TO the uptown streets, notably
seventhave, which, from Fourteenth-st TO Ftyninth
St. was paved in 1870 with the Stafford pavement. This
appears TO be the least durable OF the wooden pave
ments according to the statement Of Commission Van
Mort, who afirms that the cost Of laying it that
avenue and of making repairs upon has been sISG03
TO date. Numerous complaints were made by persons
living in other parts OF the city, who had been annoyed
by the offensive doors emanatng from stagnant pools
created by decayng wooden and dssolvng concrete
payements Mr.. Jardine has not yet furnished the
necessary security for the faithful performance Of his
proposed contract and Mr. Van Mort has heard nothing
further from him. The following table. furnished by

A MIscALcULATryG VOUCHER THIEF


A report obtained circulation at the City Hall
yesterday the effect that a safe in one OF the Public
Departments had been forced open Sunday and valu-
able papers distracted. 1t that has been for
long time past the practice OF the Commissioner OF Pub
lie Works, when bills paid that Department
have trpcate vouchers prepared. One is depos-
tied with the Department of Finance where the money
is paid another set is filed with the Bureau of
the Department having control OF matters for
which the money was paid while the third
set is kept in the safe OF tho Commissioner
OF the Department Upon arriving at the Office yester.
day the persons having charge OF the safe containing
the latter set Of vouchers surprised TO ud the
doors OF the safe OPEN and examination showed that
the bar covering the lock had been forced thus revealing
the pgeOnhoes and their contents within. The safe
makes pretenson to being either fire or burgarproof
but is OF an old patent and be easily broken
The supposton OF Mr.. Van Mort was that some one
familiar with the Office had Intended burglary and
he ordered an examination OF the contents Of the
safe 10 be made. Everything found undlsturbed
and up to late hour yesterday afternoon no voucher
had been found missing The Commissioner states that
he believes that the person who forced the safe open was
ignorant Of its contents and in search OF some other
documents and that forcing the safe became aware
that no harm would come TO the Department by the alb
straeton OF the vouchers duplicates on lille else
where. Among the papers in the safe the records
of Robert JardInes connection with the Department OF
