HIS PLAN OF REDIsTmcuNd THE CITY AZ EMBODIED
IN THE NEW oRDINANCE-TuE INCREASE IN THE
FORCE AND ITS GOVERNMENT.
The recommendations of Mayor Whiteley in
relation to Encouragement of the police dis
trcts and au increase in the police force have
been embodied in two ordinances, which were
read twice in Council, last evening. On next
Thursday evening they will probably be called
up for final PASSAGE and in view of the great
importance Of the subject we present all the es-
sential points in both ordinances just as they
have been prepared by the Mayor and City So
llcitor.
First striking out all that part of the present
ordinance creating the districts now existing
the new ordinance provides for eight districts,
as follows All that part of the city West OF
Market street, East of Washington street and
South of Fifth street shall be the first District.
All thattpart of the city East of Market street,
West of Lombard street, and South of Fifth st !,
shall be the Second District All that part of
the city West of Washington street and South of
Fifth street shall be the Third District. Ali that
part of the city East of Lombard street and
South of Fifth street shall be the Fourth Dis
trict. All that part of the city West of Market
street, between Fifth and Eighth streets, shall
be the Fifth District. All that part of the city
East of Market street betHeen Fifth and Eighth
streets shall be the Sixth District. All that part
of the city West of Market street and between
Eighth street and the Northern boundary line
of the city shall be the Seventh District. All
that part of the city East of Market street and
between Eighth street and Northern boundary
line of the city shali be the Eighth District. The
centre of the streets named as boundary lines
shall be regarded as the division line.
The ordinance in relation to the increase and
control of the police force also first repeats the
present ordinance so far rs inconsistent with the
