There probably are places in ~.
large cities where these things .ro
made and sold to the user, but such
places are exceedingly scarce. It nav
seem a little strange to learn that
most of the tools used in burglario,
are made by mechanics who are looL
ed upon as respectable men in tbo
community. When a burglar wants
any particular tool made he goes to
mechanic who can do the iob and

that have come to light in London
One in particular occurred somo
years ago, when an escaped conyict
named Williams went to a blacksmith
In the East End and got him to make
lot of drills to be used in safe crack.
Ing. He personally experimental the
tempering Of the steel, but when the
job was nearly completed it leaked
out, and Williams was arrested. In
this instance the blacksmith knew
nothing of the use to which the tools
we're to be put. Most of the tools used
by burglars are secured in the same
way.
The only regular establishment ever
discovered where they were made was
in the East End This was years ago.
and the place was soon bounced upon.

Legal Information


The New York Building Code, Sec
lions 1895, provides that, on the
refusal of an owner of an unsafe
building to make it safe or remove
it, a report Of the building shall be
made to court, which, if it finds
that the building is unsafe, shall COM
mand the commissioner of buildings to
take it down or make it safe, and that
the expense thereof shall constitute
lien on the premises. Section Isl
provides that If a building collapses
the city may remove the debris, to be
paid for out of the fund.- under Sec
ton 15S. In the case of In re Jenkins
lis New York Supplement, 1856, such
provisions are construed by the New
York Supreme Court, and it is held
that the city has no lien on property
for expenses incurred in removing de-
bris of a collapsed building and the
bodies of people buried beneath the
ruins, and is directly liable to the
contractor employed to do the work.

a strip from the interior walls OF inc

in the hope OF finding, not the liquors
