IMPORTANT TO THE TAX PAYERS OF WASH
HSafos-We have received the following commu-
inicstion from Major Richards, Superintendent Of
Police .. -
In the published proceeding, of the Board Of
Common Council Of Monday night last, statement
submitted by the Mayor, shows the amount paid
By the corporation Of Washington for the support
Of the Metropolitan Police for the fiscal year end.
ing June 80, 1896, which statement Is as follows,
viz:
For salaries. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. f33 1879
Contingent expenses Of station houses. 5,S97 3S
Heating Central guard d-house. ........" 100000
Service Of laborers at station houses. 400, 90
Total. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. $40, ,7A.62
As the above statement Is calculated to create an
impression that the support Of tho Metropolitan
Police force imposes burdensoms tax upon the
taxpayer Of Warrington II Is hut proper that the
following statements taken from the annual reports
Of the Board Of Metropolitan Police for the years
ending October 81, 1865, and October 81, 1855, be
publiAhed.
Fines were imposed during tho year ending
October 81 1865 In u, 4s7 cases, amounting in all
TO $5l, 94392, as follows:
In Washington city, including part Of
In GsorsstOwn, including part Of county 5,O7S.Oi
For selling liquor to soldiers imposed

Fines were imposed during the year ending o..
tobsr 81, 1885, In 10, 79l cases. amounting in all to
e60,366.06, as follows:

county neutrality-suspicious.. 3,74S 90
For selling liquor to soldiers, imposed
under the act Of Congress ............ 4Sl 90
Total ....................... $50, ,3S5 90
We have made statement including two years,
because the statement Of the Mayor includes a
portion Of both Of the above-named years.
From the foregoing statement 1t will be seen that
there has been paid into the treasury Of the Corpo
ration Of Warrington during the past two years
through the Metropolitan Police force tho sum Of
S1o0, ,094,24 nearly. We say nearly, because q
smai sum mot over $3 0O0) should be- deducted for
nnss paid into the Levy Court. Allowing that the
city Of Washington paid the Metropolitan Police
tho same sum during the year 1865 the entire ex.
psnss Of the force to Washington for two year,
would amount to s8l, ,46924.
Tho account between the corporation OF Wash.
ington and the Metropolitan police force stands
follows:
Amount Of fines paid to corporation Of Washing,
ton, through the police. less amount
ofhnes paid to Levy Court "a ysars).. $97, ,0o4 "a
Expenses Of the Metropolitan police
force to Warrington q years., ...... sl,469 "a
Amount to credit Of the police. $l6,62S OF
II will be observed from the foregoing that tn,
Metropolitan police force has been an actual sourc,
during the two years past, over and above all ex
pensss TO said corporation for salaries &c., In th'
sun Of $15o25
There 10 probably not another city In the ooun
try whose police organization Is an actual source
revenue to tho finances Of the city This condition
Of things arises from the fact that the Genera
aoysrpment pays two thirds ofthe amount rsquireS
for the salaries Of the members Of tho force. Il
will also be from the above statement that th
aiuount Of fines collected from arrests made by th
Metropolitan police has been more than sufficient Il
pay al expenses which are borne by the oorpora
tion without tho additional tax Of one fourth Of
Per cent. which has been levied and collected.
