THE OLD GENITAL GUARD-HoUsE.-T
policemen of the 5th precinct feel happy in
their new quarters on 10th street. between ID
and T. streets. The arrangements of the
rooms and cells make this a very convenient
station, yet ii is not what is needed in this
central precinct. The location of the old
Central guard house is. all things considered.
the best for station. There are no private
houses In that neighborhOOd to be ANNOYED
by the drunken and disorderly prisoners and
crowds of rOughs who follow arrested parties
TO the stations. II is near the market, where
the police are frequently in demand for the
protection of countrymen from thieves; the
property is owned by the District, and there
is material enough in the old building TO
make new station house, and, if necessary,
Police Court and headquarters for the Fire
Alarm Telegraph. The Central guard-houSe

doubtless be an enjoyable and successful
one.
