be and that the next legislature will be
asked for an appropriation to fit up the
Vault with steel fixtures. At present the
record files are of pasteboard and the vault
Sutures are of wood. Even back of the
pigeonholes there is wood. Of course, when

CLEANING UP ME DEBRIS
Baltimore) Starts th Work of Renovating
It Burned District.
MANY PEOPLE SECURING EMPLOYMENT
It Is Xow Estimated that Operations
Preliminary to Reconstruction
of Buildings Will Cost
About 2.000,000.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 11. -Three thousand
laborers reported to Street Cleaning Com
missioner Wyckes this morning, and after
each had been provided with a workman's
ticket they were divided Into squads, placed
under bosses and marched Into the burned
districts.
Accompanying the workmen were hun
dreds of carts and trucks. By 8 o'clock
this force waa busily at work In tho debris,
piling the bricks and broken timbers on
the sidewalks, where they were then loaded
into cars to be hauled away.
Besides this force, several hundred rail
road workmen, under the supervision of
contracting engineers of the Pennsylvania
and Baltimore & Ohio railroads, began to
tnke down the Iron pillars and girders left
standing around the ruins, which in their
present position constitute an clement of
danger.
Thus tho enormous task of bringing order
out of chaos in the devastated city has
been formally Inaugurated, and It is not to
be doubted that it will be rtcsolutoly exe
cuted.
The magnitude of this work may be
reallxed when It is estimated that the mere
clearing away of the debris will cost about
$2,000,000.
A composite estimate of the total loss
from the fire by twenty-five expert repre
sentatives of leading insurance companies,
outside of Baltimore, place the figures at
$S5,(0,000.
A number of Individual merchants and
bankers announced today that they have
already made definite arrangements with
architects and builders for the erection of
new structures. Already fully 1,000 firms
have found quarters in other parts of the
city and others are still seeking places
where they may put a desk.
