 more lliaii two-thirtls of St. Roch's Suburb of this city 
 ^vere destroyed by Fire, and on the Twenty-eighth 
 day of" the month of June following, nearly the whole 
 of St. John's Suburb, and a, portion of the suburb of St. 
 Lewis fell also a prey to the flames, and in the first 
 Fire more than thirteen hundred lioiuses, and in 
 the second about fifteen hundred houses, were redu- 
 ced to ashes, and nearly twenty thousand individuals 
 tliereby rendered houseless by these disasters ; and, 
 w hereas, in the one and the other of these calamities it 
 was found impossible to arrest the progress of the flames 
 owing to a high wind which at these times prevailed 
 from the quarter in which the Fire on both occasions 
 originated, fallowing a drought of several days previous 
 •^ which aided in spreading the fire with irresistible 
 .'. \ violence among the wooden dwellings and building-s 
 ,• of which these two suburjjs werer for the greater part 
 comjx)sed ; and, whereas, if these large and imix)Ttant 
 portions of the city were rebuilt of materials similar to 
 those of which they were heretofore constructed, it 
 would be impossible to prevent, under like circums- 
 . tances, which might fi-om time to time arise, their 
 future destruction by Fire, a calamity which might 
 . involve the other portions of the city, wherePjre it 
 becomes imperative to prohibit the itse of like inflam- 
 mable materials, in the reconstruction of the said 
 suburbs. . .■,
