thousands Of dollars worth of property
destroyed by this gang of thieves. Since
The recent robberies, he had known ses-
eral families who were away to come
home In order to protect their property.
II Is hardly safe for family to go away
one day. pira. lIah III
Mr.. Guthrie said that If he was able 10
go away With his family to Cape May or
Saratoga, and spend $40 or $50 per week
be conld cettaiDly afford 10 pay pour
lwatchman IS or SO Q week to take care
Of his property. He did no. think it
right for the city to employ watchmen
for absent families. .'i ,s
Mr.. McGlinchey said the city had no
right to employ detectives. Ifpeople go
away and leave their proper ty. they offer
Inducements to TIL ewes to operate.
Mr.. Norton til upht the ppople who
were robbed and the residents in the
neighbOrhood should club together and
employ two detectives.
Mr.. Moore said he was certainly in
favor of the resolu ion. Thee was not
city of the size of Wilmington but
what had employed detectives.
Mr.. Norton sad that if the parties
robbed would offer reward and show
our policemen some inducements, they
would hunt the thieves up. a.,,
Mr.. Lichtenstein said he regretted
that in offering the resolution, that the
discussion should take such wide range.
He would withdraw the resolution. -.
Mr.. Paynter moved That the Mayor be
authorised to offer a reward OF three
HI drtd dollars for the arrest and con-
viction Of the thieves who committed the
recent robberies. The motion was adept
ed. .f .l.l.- ..t.. .
Mr.. Guthrie said be desired to call at
fention of Council to the Latmer Trust
Fund. 1t had not yet been invested,
and he thought Counril made a mistake
at the last me ting in not allowing the
Finarce Committee to invest II In county
| bonds. The COMMITTEES could now invest
II in city IS at 1.055. H'ci 80
