watchmen. and special duty men--n all, thirty
nine men.
The in the Fourth District comprises lieuten
ant keeper Of the jail. and twentyone policemen
watchmen and supernumeraries.
In order to render the police efficient would
commend slight addition to the present number 6 in the
Second District and general increase in the Third and
Fourth Districts where theforce is in my opinion INSULT
cient for the maintenance of proper degree of security
TO the inhabitants.
The reorganization Of the police should be effected
der the head of high constable four captains one for
each District and eight ieutenants two for each Dis
trict The remainder of the police should consist sim
ply of policemen and night watchmen the Mayor hav
ing the authority to detail them for special duty such
commissaries of markets doorsmen roundsmen clerks
at the different watch-honses etc. The men thus de-
tailed should receive moderately increased pay the eff
o the police in the discharge of their duties nasmuch
any neglect dsobedence Of orders the part of the
men detailed would render them liable to be placed
back in the ordinary ranks also recommend that each
member of the department should have emblem Of Of
fee which he would be compelled to display conspicuous
ly and disorderly assemblages Policemen, when
on special duty at markert public squares and all places
of public should also the badge of Office
80 that the stranger and frequenng these pla-
ces might be able to find them at moments warming
At any alarms of fire should be the duty of the cap
tain Of the district nearest the of conagrtion to
forthwith the with half the number OF
policemen off duty and to proper exertons for the
preservation Of order and the protection of property
think it advisable suggest that in of fires lam
tern Of sufficient size should be carried on pole with the
word police inscribed in large characters and where the
captain Of the district could station himself and issue the
necessary orders the maintenance Of the public
and the saving of property He should render every
assistance in ubdung the flames and with the aid Of his
force should clear the streets from crowds and obsruc-
tons that sufficient space be reserved for the fremen
ty may be saved There other matters in
ton with the organization of the police which deem it
superfous to mention as they will necessarily suggest
themselves to the consideration Of honorable body

endeavored to bring succncty to notice the various
matters which in my opinion demand your early and seri
Gus consideration deem the occasion appropriate
