STRAY TOPICS FROM LITTLE OLD
 NEW YORK

NEW YORK. Aug. 22.-The fiscal household of the city of New York lis an establishment of great magni ture and deals in figures which are staggering According to the semi annual report of Controller Prender- gast, just published, the collections of revenue receipts during the first six months of the year from taxes, assessments, water rates and mlScel- celaneOus items aggregated $llb,- 132. .539, as compared with s113,292. 925, for the same period of 1912. Of the loans contracted by the city, $75.- 739819 was obtained from the is sues of corporate stock and corporate stock notes, as compared with sS6, 7S8, 692 during the first sixe months of 1912 From the first of January to the goth of June of this year there were $123. 3.697,178 of revenue bonds and bills sold to the public, and $114.- 37z,671 redeemed, thus showing a net increase in this form of temporary debt of s6.319, ,507.
 No more accurate indicator of the growth of New York City can be found than the history of the de- velopment of it's transportation facil- ities and the plans for the future expansion. In 1860. with the popula- tion of 1.174.779. the street railway traffic of the city was 5O,S3O,O0O fares. In 1890. when the population had grown to 3,437,2O2. the street rail- way traffic had jumped to S46,353,OOO. From 1900 to 1910 it almost doubled In 1910, with the population of 4,766,- 8S3, the traffic had grown to 1.531,- 263,000. Such a rate of growth could not have been anticipated. and the building of city transportation lines fell behind such rapidly increasing demands.
 The need for more transportation facilities continued to increase The city had been growing so rapidly that, after paying nearly $50,O0O,O0 for the existing subway and spending other millions for permanent i'm provements demanded by the various boroughs it had very little credit left to apply to new rapid transit work This debt limit had been so

COUNCIL HOLDS

Bows to Urgent Appeal for More Fire Protection and Will Include Fund for This Purpose in Sum Asked at Election

Just when the city council was aoout tO once more take action look Ing to a bond election in order to pro- vide funds for parks and other i'm proVements, that body is again con fronted with the apparently very timely demand for more adeuuate fire protection, particularly in the northern part ot the city. It was proposed at the meeting held last evening to ap- prove a proposed bond issue. call for registration and set date for the election. but before the resolution mad been passed a committee consisting of several residents of the Evergreen sec ton of the city, appeared before the common council and urged that some means be devised whereby necessary apparatus and the men to operate e them be stationed in that district So forcible was the matter presented. it was voted to postpone action upon the proposed bond issue until it be made to include sufficient funds to provide for fire protection.
 Col James H. McClintock was the spokesman for the committee. althoaSh Dr. A. B. Nichols. Linn B. Orme and several others were on hand to aug ment his remarks if necessary The situation was presented in clear terms and the belief was expressed that the citizens would just as soon stand a little more taxation in taking care of bonds, as to witness decided increase of fire insurance rates The matter was referred to the committee of the whole
 City HOrticulturist L. $. Blackman appeared before the council, first for the purpose of thanking the council for vacation granted and then to ask for permission to have photo graphs taken of the various trees of the city and data collected as to their kind and character. Incidentally M. H. Sharp caretaker of various parks. designated as city gardener, asked permission to accompany MT Black man to the Arborites convention in Pasadena. The upshot of it all was that the council agreed that the ex- pense of the trip for each of these men, be borne by the city.

 United States Commissioner Gil christ has been charged with the task of solving difficult and quite unusual legal problem. On October 31. 1912, a man named Benjamin L.. Glaessel fell or jumped off a Long Island Sound steamboat and it was reported that he had lost his life by drowning. He was legally de- clared dead and an administrator was appointed for his estate. Glaes- sel left little property and large amount of debts but, he was sup posed to be dead, his creditors ac cepted the situation and divided the meager assets among themselves Since then, however. some of the creditors have come to the COnClu sion that Glaessel did not lose his life when he fell or jumped off the Sound steamship. but that he is alive and that his father and several other persons were aware of this fact all the time and have definite knoWl- edge of the mems present location.

OPEN SARATOGA TRACK
First Racing Event Since 1909
Guard Against Gambling.

Saratoga, y. Y, Aug. 2.-For the
first time in four years, the streets
of Saratoga We're filled today with
their old-time crowd, here for the
opening day of the racing season.
With hotels already oVerflowinS
and special trains bringing additional
throngs to the village every hour, the
attendance promised to eclipse rec
ords. Every box in the grand stand
had been sold in advance. The track
has been idle since 1909.
The crowd was disappointed by the
prospect that Whisk Broom II, the
new worlds record smasher. would
take no part in the days racing. The
great racer is reported to have gone
badly lame recently and il is regard
ed as improbable that he will race
again this year. Six horses were
scheduled to start in the Saratoga
handicap.
Unusual precautions have been
taken by the sheriff to prevent viola
ton of the anti-gambling law. He
has assured Governor Sulzer that the
law will be enforced.
