Have We n Police Among ISL

Editor StGr:-FOr month past nearly every
night. a parcel OF children have had 4 bonfire
on the lots at corner of Maryland avenue and 1st
street east. 1t strikes me that the police ought
to stop Il for three reasons. First. II Is danger
Gus to the children. / have read no less than
two accounts OF little girls being burned ID

IKE thistle last In THE STAR OF Friday or Sat
urday. Second 1t endangerS property In the
vicinity, there being stable about which there
is more or less litter liable to be ignited by the
sparks these windy nights. Third 1t is
wicked waste OF fuel, that poor people viii be
mighty glad to have during the coming winter
IL Strikes me that our police pay less attention
to such matters than in any city ever saw. and
am pretty familiar with most of the cities of
the north and west In fact, during the eighteen
years That nave lived In this and the adjoining
square, ! have not seen a policeman in the
nelghboThood, on the average, once a month
Weekly rapeS, and from one to three robberieS
per night, seem to be the regular course now-a-
days. Surely there is something wrong about
our police system or management, or with the
ponce themselves, and think it is With both.
