arguments The Mayor made this announce

After careful study of the case, 1 have
notified the Manhattan Fire Alarm Company
tbat sustain the Fire Commissioner in his ac-
ton in revoking their permit on the general
ground that such a relation between a private
company and the city is contrary TO public
policy.
In view OF the fact that this decision affects

upon the faith Of the city's permit, although
that hermit was revokable by its terms, and in
view of the further fact that the device con-
troIled by this company is valued by many as
an additional protection of their premises
against fire. I have suggested that the city
might be willing to enter into negotiations for
the purchase of the cOnlpany's plant, with
view 10 the city's giving this protection itself.
