The Police Area.
After giving the places at which fifty-sev-
en- members do post duty and of the eighty
four officers who are on detail duty, the
report concludes:
1T should not be forgotten that the Dis
trict of Columbia comprises the police dis
trict. and that within its area is included
the beautiful city of Washington, with its
Capitol and public buildings; that extern
sive modern motor lines traverse it in all
directions: that magnificent residences and
improved grounds are scattered throughout
Its domain; that eminent universities and
colleges are located therein: that a govern
nent park, the geological garden, extensive
in proportions. consumes large section
thereof; that costly pleasure resorts and nu-
merous well-populated villages are scattered
here and there. while the intermediate parts
are interspersed with luxurious homes. and
The modern improved railways and drive
ways are patronized by the highest officials
III the land and thousands of citizens and
visitors every month in every year
The protection of these varied property
interests and the preservation of life and
limb, make necessary a thorough police pa
troll With the vast landed area in which
all these improvements located. the
limited police force heretofore referred to
becomes insignificant. especially when COM
pared with the number of men utilized In
other Jurisdictions OF equal size.

A Burning Lawn.
From the Binghamton Republican.

From the Binghamton Republican.
Three times last week the fire department
responded to telephone calls, from the
property of George NJ. Johnson. on Beet
hoven street, where the grass was supposed
to be on fire Three times the grass was
soaked by the department. but despite the
flood it continued TO burn as II the city
water was drawn from the oil refinery. and
tended to confirm the belief Of the people,
who have often made assertions to that
effect.
The residents in that vicinity. especially
those who own houses with no fire insur-
ance on them, were in a continual state OF
trepidation lest the flames should reach the
houses and burn them to the ground be-
fore the department could be called. The
property was originally a swamp. Any
Irishman from the ''old sod would have
recognized 1t as an old bog, and the cause
of the fire was a generous supply of what
drouth and warm weather have supplied
what is ordinarily a case of much labor.
Peat when used fuel is cut out with a
spade in cakes about the size of bricks and
piled so as to dry in the sun. The owner
Of the property may not be cognizant Of the
fact, but with little labor he might own
the next thing to coal mine all by himself.
DESPITE the recent rains the bog continues
to burn and will in all probability do SO IN
til it Is removed, as the peat Is some dis
lance below the surface and the water cam
not reach 1t. In many places where the
peat was burned out the earth has caved
In, leaving a number OF large holes about
the lot.
