Yester day a very narrow escape from Buch a bla/.o occurrjbd on fourth avenue. . A family had purchased a baarcl of gasoline far use in a patent mimmer stove , nnd left . it in the yard.

Jiesldcw the u oral utility of those works , It would bo : HOrloua general lots nut to proceed to thel ojinpleti n. This is thd cane with tin KradinK of Main tired , of the Wasliingtoi avenue extension , of Union avenue , and i material uml important change to be mad < in Ynuxlmn avenue. Of the latter , r. per Konal examination shown that n chance ii location should be made at the Koclc li Uml right of way. BO as to avoid n danger oils approach , and aluo an uunecuesary ex expense in connection with tin co t t the city of nn approach to thebrldg which the county propose * to erect , In close connection with the last olas of improvements Is the construction of i dyke or levee , so as to guaicl the went part of the city azaiiibt any future over How. Tha necessity of Mich nn improve inciit is not debatable. The resources , uc cording to feasible and economical plain are within reach , and no delay uhould b allowed , nud iiono would bfl judicious now while the danger it distant , bu which nevertheless confronts us at al times. I'roperty , both public anil private is In great danger In case of tlood fron the flume in Indian creek nbov Market street because of it worn-out condition , beyond repair and in order to save the valuubl bridges below that point I would frecom mend its removal at once , I would alsi sugjjest that regulations be at once adoptct so that all sewers , whether public or pri vale , emptying into that stream , bo ui adjusted that their contents shall cease tt be a constant menace to the health am comfort of the people of the city. Itli iniM > rlant to notice a matter by a propei prohibitory ordinance , and that U tin erection of'barbed wire fences within tin citv limit. * , as both dangerous nnd tin- . aving watched the opcrntinn * . of the Rrc drpnitmtnt of the city nlnce itx nr an- ! r.\tion , I hava nrt hcilUnu.vlnfi.tyinj ; that no better organii'iiUon exicta in any citj in the Urjion , No mnn irnpnitant de- pat tment is connected with the general admlnistratinn. No money spent for jntl ) . licpuipoiea lm < been morco'ononiicallyM moiewicely spent. No dt of mon have ever roiponrlcd to a call of duty with mo alacrity than the of the fira department of Council Ilulf , and the liberality ol former administration li.n been fully jus tified l.y m nly nnd energetic work from asctof yonnc men who have derived nr pcrhonul and pecuniary benefit from the organisation , I ml who have cheerfully under all circumstancof , performed n pub lic duly In the interojlo of all. Tor that reason 1 would recommend the most lib eral expenditure of money in that direc tion , consistent witli our financial condi tion 01 a proper nnd jud ( clout outlay. I cannnt dhmlig this subject without a par. tlctilar reference to the chief of that de partment , Mr. Licy , whoio equal for skill and fidelity scarcely pxatfbut ! whoso com pensation , In my judgment , hat not been and is not now , adequate to ho service performed nnd the responsibility of the position , Th time II H COHID , too , for the adoption of some method of fire alarm , by tslegrnph , say nt each hoio house in the c ty , fo ns to avoid mistakes nnd delnv , and to increase the ifHcIcncy of the de partment. Upon the ollicleucy of the police depart ment depon is the dftfelyof the HVPS and property of the citizens In tha firt In stance. This h a matt'r , then , of the highest importance. The inott effec tive police force it only attainable when compensation for duty Is Mich M to nttrnct to it men who ar- the best qualified , in every reaped , for thee trust * . With that in view , it Bccmito bo uuwi'o to expect thn bust men to lie at tracted to the service with sdnrlei that are iiin-lequatf. I would therefore recom mend that the galarv of the chief of po II e bo raised to 8CCO { per ycir , and those ot the other officers of tliq force to 505.CO per month , and made payable out of the police fund. In that way the Hal- nrics will bo fixed , nnd not fluctuating , a ? if paid in any other manner. That the council may Imvo n general Idea of the force , Kinco lha 10th of April , 1881 , I have abstracted from the annual report ol III 3 chief of police home facts tlut nm pcrve n a puido in thoj future The total number of arrests during that period was l.lin. These may bo cl.vsed nn follows ; Tor murder 1 , robbery 3 , nrson 2. forgerj 2 , passing counterfeiting money 1 , < mhez- lenient L' , assault and batt-ry 0 , bur- glnry 3 , larceny 01 , bhootlug nn the flticetl : .

Much of llio'work mentioned in this re port was done without compensation , the bo rd of Hiiperviiois , mrler n decision of the Htinri me court , having refused to allow the policemen anything for the largo num. bor of arrests made in state cases. It la Important that when Mich duty IH per formed by the police , nnd public interest ? demand that they do frequently pcrfcrm it to prevent e capen , Homo provision should be inado to compensate them for such extra duty , in coma form or anothei as shall seem the wisest. I ha\o n.ado an examination of the col lection of licenses for the year just ended , by an inspection of the records , including a comparison of the books of the city re corder , nnd the receibts of the city treas urer , I find that licence ! ) have been col lected for the year ending March 31.1882 , in the BUinof 88,432 07 ; in Hues , $2.878.34 , making n total of $10 831. 11. \VATKH WOKKS. An enterprise to vital to the general prospeiity of our city and the well b'irig of its inhabitants should receive from u inoie tha a mera passing notice Nc contemplated industry in our city com- bands such universal interest by our peo- [ > lu as this. Much speculation hae bean indulged in by all , and no pmall amount of opposition been interposed by some of our bent citizens in regnrd to the construc tion of t licao works by the American Con struction company , with whom our pre decessors contracted for the completion of the B.imo by the 21th day of January , A. D. , 1883. Whatever may bo thought of the merits of this contiact , nnd I am aware that many regard it jnequjtahle to the people of our city , yet. it having been solemnly entered Into by the city and said company , in my judgment w ought not as the true reprteentatlvcs of the people to do anything but to carry out on the part of the city in the utmost good faith , all the requirements of said contract which tha city was to pcrfo'iu ' , and in every legitimate innnner aldnnd nttsist the company .to construct nnd complete the workx an contemplated by nil parties , acd I feel that this council will justify mo in extending such assurance to the water works company us the policy of this ad- ministration. 1 am credibly informed , and I have no doubt myself , but that thu works will bo built within the time prescribed in thu - ontrnnt , unless by the net of the city or ! tt citizens the H.IIII-J shall be prevented , Already , as I nm advised and my author ity is direct proceedlugs Invo been Inaugurated to purchase or condemn the uecottnry grounds upon which to lorato tha works ami rtMoivoirn of the company , The new and additional contracts have been let to our own pcoplu within the last few dayH for the construction of the Iron work and material to bo used immediately In the comtructli.u of the wnr < s , and that within thirty days from this date , active operations will Imvo been commenced in our city , looking to the xpcudy construe- tion and completion of the woiks.

ICach ol the six trunk HIIUH centering here lu.vo during the past year , and are now ex pending nearly u quarter of a million of dollars iu the erection of one of tht finest elevators in the north-west , all ol which money has been disbursed in oui city , and at least one-half of it it expend ed amoui ; our people.

OPEN HOUSES. Those Reported for the Violation o tlio Sunday Law A Square JJoal. The ordinance requiring saloons < ( close up ut 11 o'clock at night and t ( keep closed Sundays lias been n cleat letter so long that it acorns ns if tin oflicials had forgotten that any sucl ordinance had existed. With UK comitw > of the now adminUtratior the following renolution was adoptet by the now council : Resolved , That the mayor and mar shal bo and they arc hereby instructed to enforce rigidly and impartially the ordinance defining misdemeanor and fixing punishment. Also _ tlio ordi nance concerning the closing of Ha' loons and tippling houses. Tno ordinance referred to providct that saloons shall bo kept eloped from 11 p. m. to 4 n. m. the next day , anc fixes the penalty at not less than § i and not moro than $2Eij also that sa loons shall bo kept closed on Sundaj under penalty of not ICES than § LC nor moro than $25. Last week the police roportctl n number of places open after 11 o'clock at night , and yesterday they reported twonty-tlireo places open on Sunday. Oflicer Uuanolla reported Burchc- son & McCalsfcr's open until ] o'clock at uiijht , and the beer garden as open until 12 o'clock. Ollicor Sterling reported the follow ing places : D. Frazer , Calif ornis house , Metropolitan house Ander son's ' , Porbes' , Peter Johnson's , Beclo ley'a , Maivo White's ' 'at the Pacific house. Ollicer Earhyto reported as open on Sunday : Tlio Centi.il , Pat Lacy , Peter Dechtolo , Leo Mitchell , Ex change , Sam Ford , Ogden billiard saloon , Hatch , Henry Leland , the saloon under Turner hall , Moss and Lawrence Hull's old place. Ollicer Clough reported the Lowei home , MikeNoland , Burlington house , St. Joe house , Kofi's house , Dick Kennedy , Creeton house , Nick Shurz and Chris Swinger. Under the resolution of the council , it is the duty of the mayor and city in a rah al to enforce the ordinance , and as ihcao thirty-three violations are re ported , the question naturally arises , what will bo done about it ? Thus fat nothing has been done beyond making a report. There Rooms to be a de termination on the part of the now city government to enfoico the ordin ances. The expressmen have been made to move on to the side streets and driven off Broadway. If it is fair tc enforce the ordinance as regards ex- pressmen , there should bo no hesi tancy in enforcing this ono. Tin council have issued the order that the saloon ohall sell as required by law. Numerous violation * have been of ficially reported. If they lot the matter drop there , the whole thuij ) wil bo a farco. Having taken a stop , it remains to bo scon whether thoj will retreat or go on. Having started in on the express ordinance thej should- make it a square deal for all violators of ordinances , or else rescind < scind the ordinances altogether. Council Mooting. The city council met last evening , J. M. Baldwin presented n rorbn petition in behalf of the policemen that they bo paid from the poliui fund , instead of tlio general warrants , which nro at n discount.
