patent these appliances are needed there
could be no duliculty in doing so if thc

be taxed. They hold death and the tax
gatherer in about the some estimation.
but my observation leads me to think
there Is no tax that brings so little dis-

I now come to what I_ think are the

think he should be empowered. let me
say that the pusitiun should not be pali-

all his energies, not only to nuke bim~

chief, it strikes us, should hnvo other
duties besides simply looking utter the

firmly (if the opinion he should also be

engineer to vent pectic. if the city
has protective “vs, from violating them.
particularly in regard to the storage of ,
combustibles nnd highly lull unmoblc
materials, and also, to see that no build;
ing without a good and cubotnotiol
chimney has a stove placed therein. He
should also have cognizance of the erec-
tion of buildings. and have powcr to

safe chimneys or dangerous structures
