Answer:

Peter Stuyvesant passed laws to improve life in New Amsterdam. Fires were a problem. The people were told to get rid of thatched roofs, wooden chimneys, and haystacks because they could cause fires. He appointed fire wardens to check to be sure the fire laws were being followed. He also set a speed limit at broadway.
