Alfred R. Conkling invites Theodore Roosevelt to speak at a subscription dinner that will be hosted by the New York City Realty League on February 28. Roosevelt is welcome to speak on any matter that is of interest to the taxpayers. Conkling lists issues such as the potential annexation of Westchester County as a sixth borough, the Catskill aqueduct, and the hours that city offices should be open. Conkling is against a proposed bill in the State Assembly that would make building owners responsible for fire safety measures.
