PoLIcE MArrsRs.-Many Of our citizens
may be under the. impression that il cost
more to run the Police Department thi.
year than last. iu consequence Of the arg
influx Of rascals during the recent season
Tho following statement showing th'
amount paid by the city for the support o
this department, during the months Of May
June and July, 1866, may in . measure cor
rect this impression

Hence it will be seen that it costs the cit
for 1867 $2Gs less than it did in 1866.
The city paid for each case tried in 1s6
G.10, and in 1867 $3.50 over and above re
ceipts II therefore cost the city 81 g.

1867. There may be some tr1ing error ii
our figures, but in the main they are cor

things.
