GENTLEMEN:
In this message I shall attempt a general statement of the condition of the city, and of its building operations. For the purpose of broadly considering the city's present condition and standing among similar communities, the returns of the recent Presidential election furnish valuable data. Presidential elections call out a full vote, and thus afford an indication of the relative growth of the different cities of the country. The following table is believed to correctly state the total number of votes cast in the four leading cities for President at the recent election:
Total vote cast in 1888.
New York 270,194 Philadelphia 205,747 Brooklyn 148,868 Chicago 123,475

Number of population to each voter in 1880:
