CORRESPONENCE.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Notwithstanding the in
struetions Of the new Mayor to his police,
1t seems street lounging has not been
stopped. On Sunday evening Market street
was lined with set Of filthy mouthed men
and boys, and especially between Sixth and
Seventh streets! Tenth street and Delaware
avenue was as bad a lady, cannot walk
the streets without. being insulted by some
of these Williams. Z It ia . disgrace to the
city that this is permitted to continue. This
state of affairs is becoming worse every
day, but we do not blame our police. The
blame lies at the dooroof our previous
Councils, who wasted our, money In useless
expenditures, while they Should have used
1t in increasing the. police, force. We
hope our present Council will increase the
police force and give our citizens the pro.
lection for which they are well taxed.
