During the year the New York force made
5l,751 arrests; the Metropolitan Police s3,535
balance of 81 ,206 in favor Of New York. But
when the average arrests per man is ascer
tanned the amount of service performed is
largely in favor of the Metropolitan Police,
they averaging nearly 1i2 arrests per man, and
the New York fraction over 81. The Com
missioners in their report say s'a state of war
is a school of violence and crime; the fruits of
its instruction exhibit themselves mainly in
cities, and most of all in the metropolis" Wash
ington can with regret endorse the statement.

this that has so greatly increased the labors of
