(to-o,nissioner Nagle when he told of the
flf1y condition of some OF the streets, lald 'lie
blame the police ,:.r
10 helm me but 1 can't get them. The condi-
rion of the streets in some localities is as @ nucn
the fault of the police as 1t is or the oepal.
,nent~nore Thev will stand by and see the
people throw dirt into the road after lne s"eep
ers have gore by. 1t is as much the duty OF q
patrolman to arrest a man LOT thls a.
burglary / can't get proper police prolectioh-
Police Commissioner Murphy denies TINS.
Whenever Commissioner Nasle has asked lor
-,olioemens he said he has got tnerl-at least
SO far as know. l will look into TINS liiatIeI-
Tomorrow 1 will issue an order olrectls liie
cantains of the different precincts to tell the!r
men to look out for offenders l have done TINS
before but VIII do it again. When MI: war
ing was commissioner he had force OF men,
&c cornn,issioner Neele says, but then the city
was much smaller and we could spare pohCe-
80, for This s,,ty We cannot do SO in the same
measure now But will see to it that Coranals-
sioner Nagls does not lack for proper ponce
help
A number of letters were received at the De-

planning Of the condition of certain thofough-
fares. The shortage OF sweepers is aHeaoy LsLt,
and II is becoming more and more apparent
.hat with more than third of the brooms idle
rhe work cannot be done. To such complaints
commissioner Nsgle he's to say only that he
cannot help it, the money at his disposal
will not allow him to maintain a sufficient force
Of wcrkmen.
