Ofren been our sole re6purC6
regret that the congratulations OF my
last report upon the great d'mlnutlon OF
fires are not pertinent to the present eitna-
ton. We have recently had many fires,
fortunately nOne 30 disastrous as that of
the first of December, but too many to jus
tify interchsnges OF any fluctuations on
the superstition that iucendiarism as
vocation is abandoned, or its difficult
pursuit much abridged by the vIgi-
lance of our Board of Underwriters, or
the watchfnlness Of any of the guar.
dams OF the public peace and virtue. Every
measure of safeguard against incendiarism
should be kept, as we kefp our money, IN
hand or securely locked, and not allowed
| to intermit for an instant, or to recede out
| of mind till all that had been gained has,
perhaps, been lost, and the work again
presented itself for new remedies.
| Nor is there any noticeable absence of
| cause for complaint about false alarms, not
withstanding extraordinary prevalence of
real fires. / would therefore also call at
| tention to the vicious practice of evil
minded persons who sometimes aggravate
their offenses by needless accessory wrongs,
a. when lately box Was smashed in by
! cobble stones for want of more acceptable
access to it's key.
The recent disastrous fire strengthens
likewise the call which ! have repeatedly
urged upon your notice for the erection of
fireproof buildings. There is probably no
other city where go little attention is given
to measure of suoh enormous consequence
for the prevention of fres. 1t should, in
my judgment, be treated as q simple police
regulation, unmixed with all considerations
of individual interests or preferences There
are too many important public ends sub
served by the reduction Of fires, and toe
vast an aggregate of private good secured
