Dr. Tarpm, Recviverof the Fidelity Tank, yes- tarday flod a petition asking fur leava to carry ont an arrangonient he has made In reference to the Colcago savings Institution bullding, on the north- west corner of Dearborn and Madisun streets, 1fe states that in Jnly, 1872, Tolmnn Wheeler leateid the fot on which tho building stands to tho Chicago Havings Institutlon & Trust Company for a term of ten, afterward extended to twenty, yoars. Tho bank then crected the present bullding thereun, and put In cas fixcures, pattition, and railings, attaclied to vut separablo from tho baliding, In March last the bulldiog and ground lesse wero rold to John C. Halner, and by him afterward transterred to the Fldelity Dank. 1t was agreed 8t the timo of sale that the Chicago Savings Bank might have a reconveyance uf the property within a reasonable time on payment of advances and Jn- tercat 1o the amount of uoout $15,000. Defsnlt has been made in paynient of rentof the building, and tho lease to tue Chilcago Ssvings Bank ha been de- clared (orfeited, There Ia somedoubt asto whother tho bill of asle to the Fidelity was absolute ur in the nnture af a mortgage, and slso o8 to who shonld Dave the fixtures. Dr, Turpin has mode an ar- rangement with Hinckley, Receiver of tho Chleago Savin, stitution, by which the latter s fv surrender porsession of the building and yround Iease, but Lo collect and keep tho rents for Novem- ber and Decomber, and to ba_ aliowed to redeout within - slx monthe. It thie s not dono within that time Minckiey 1s to tive a quit claim deed to fko property to Dr. Trar- 1in, who wiil then have the tinal titfe beyond dis- wute. 'The latter thon asks that he may be allowed to carry out this_agreenient s above siated. and sJudie Moore gave nim the required permission.

And ho also held fthat shere was too mnch room wasted. Tothia Architect Cochrane explatned that a group of aaildings had heen bniit for the accom- modation of 1,000 pationts, —that s, do far ax enlinary department, clinlcal achool, morgue, and other et ceteran were concerned, —but ! only two pavillons had been erected ont of slx, and {hat exechtive and overal othor minor buiidings Dnlf wero necded. One hundred and Afty thourand dollara haid been expended for this purpose, which ‘wonld not have 16 bo ex}'mn\!efl again, Bt Commissioner Spofford held that only 200 patients tvere sccommodated, on the average, every day, and that the expense was greater for malntaining them {n this hosnltal “than in any other in the United States, 1In fact, tho cost of maintenance was double that of any othor hos- £600 worthof Iacen, sllverware, fowelry, furs, and fine clothing. \Wero 1t not for the fact that thero robberics wera committed at shout the rame time on the same evening they would be latd to ono gang, but the facta point already to aeveral distinct kanew, working on the same princl- ple. For (he past threa months the Went Lake street district has been overridden with 1hieves and burglars, and the powers that bo acem pawers lcsa to cope with them. Supt.
