corporate stock were set aside for this
much needed Improvement as early as
1903, but these funds We're largely di-
verified to continually pressing needs in
cidental 20 keeping the old system in
operation. and in the ten years which
followed the money set aside for in
stalling a new fire alarm system In all
borpughs has aggregated the sub
stantlal sum Of sl,609,0OO. That con-
siderable progress toward reconstruc-
ton has not been accomplished is a mat
ter rejecting little credit, being born OF
10 definite plan Of procedure.
The preliminary plans that We're pre-
pared for Manhattan required the build
ing of the new system before the aban-
dOnment of the old. This course should
have been followed, but unfortunately
1t was not, and the new contracts that
have been entered into aggregate too
small an amount to make for economic
handling; in consequence they consti-
tute patch work at high rate Of cost.
Through the establishment by the
present administration of definite
policy with regard to the qu' stIon of
subway" construction, based on a luS-
zeal opinion of the Corporation CouA.l,
much misunderstanding and delay Will
hereafter be avoided.
The agreement entered into by the
city with the Empire City subway Com
pany in 1891 makes it mandatory upon
that company to provide the city with
such ducts as may bc needed for the
fire alarm wires in all streets and ave-
nucs where subways exist, or where
there may ice a demand for suhwaNs.

In February, 1905. The New York

income of which should be used
to establish universal peace. In
1893 the Car of Russia invited
