A woek ngo last Thursday Baum ecalled at No. 94 West Madison streot, where o mnotico was posted to show that somo rooms wore to rent, and proposed to talie a front room up- stairs for busiucss purposes.

Tho prico given was $1 a pair for alippers, aud 25 conts a yard for lnco, Baum represented that tho lace wns yery costly, and that he only took a8 sccurity about Tinlf wwhat it was worth, but it scems that the protended lace was only worsted, and, of courso, not worth a titho of tho prico. The swindlor appears to have taken whatevor Lo could got from tho girls, slthough he would not con- descend to take ag low a8 a dollar. IIis usual way, when o girt camo in and wantod work, was to sk hor how much monoy sho hod, and s demands were proportioned accordingly. > As near as can bo ascortained, about fifty girls mado deposits and woro provided with work, and Baum's profits consequently woro from 150 to i appenrance i quito gontlomsuly, but he appoars to bo suffering from somo serious dis- sage.

Jio Bxhibited a map of tho. buent dlstrict of Bonton, showing the strdot ndditions. which * had hoon condomned nt & total cost to the clty of £0,403,419, Hosnld that from tho fact thnt #parks and cludors, durlng the.Oroof 1871, wero carriod out to tho orib, many people would conclude that no width of boulovard would offor nprotection against firo, but this was but o smail item jn the combating of fires, * If Harrison atroot lind been made 200 foot wido ot tho timo of thelnst fire, and especlully if it had been phanted with brond-lenved and thickly-fotinged treos Niito Norzo-chestnnt and bard-mnplo, firo~ mon could onsily have warkud ou the norly stde of tho stroet, nud tho fire could hayo been stayed there, The trces on Wabash avouuo botween Peck nnd Fubbard courts saved tho buitdings on tho cast slda of tho treot, 1lo hhold thab the ordinance oxtonding the firo- limits and thlblllnf tho_oreetion of wooden buildings would bo of littlo oNicloucy in provont- ing gront conllagrations wmtil the businesy part of tho eity was sepavatea from tho combustiblo materlnl which swrounded it by an open spnes of unch a width as would bo beyond tho span of the flames, Tho oity should bo surrounded with o lino of dotouss, which would ministor lmfialy to its bosuty snd health, Mo thought that, thongh the boulovard systom wne immensoly exponsivo, tho city stood in the position of o man with o highwayman's pistol at his head, Tho fuestion of cost Involved the lifo or denth of thocity. The boulevard wonld tncronse tho valio of property within its lNmito, and would reduco tho rates ‘of insnrance to_ such s figare that tho original ontlny would bo greatly ve- duced if not abuolutely balanced.

The propossd lino of boulevard, which lad boon discused, was 300 foet wide along the line of Tolfth streot from the lako to Poorin atroet, nnd north on Peorin streot to Chicago avenuo. Tho outlay for this ronte would be envrmous, and no adoquate return could bo wecured for it sinco n largo nren within it would be covered with inflnmmable matoral. If the lino of Taylor, Polk, or oven Harrison strost wore solectod in- atend, tho cont wonid bo yory sanch less, for the doublo renson_that business on Twolfth streot had fnerensod its value, whils tho flro had cloared tho othier streota for the samo distanca, Tumbor-yerds and combnstible matoriala could bo removed from tho east bank of the river along the lins, mo that tha river, too, might form a_ fine of dofons® on’ tho west, This plan would isolato tho busi- ness district mora effectually and at much Joss oxpenso than Lbo lino proposed. Tho effect would bo to concentrate all such brancbes of Dusiness as roquira tho atoting of valuabla ma- terial, Buch a lino would be all that was neces- gnty, but tho necessity was wrgont. ‘Tlio paper was disaussed aud genorally ap- roved of. e 87§ Grooloy suggastod tho nacossity of & standard of longth for the uso of survoyora.
