OF Committee on Police
To the Honorable the President and Comm on
Council OF the City OF st. Paul:
GENTLEMEN: The Committee on Police, to
whom was referred the matter of the establish
ment and erection of Police Stations at suit
| able points within the city, respectfully re-
port:
That the necessity of the erection OF police
stations has become so evident TO every one
L ,, rr.I,e 81
police department in that direction that it is
| unnecessary 10 more than state the facts.
The present station with only four cells in
| which all persons arrested during the night,
| aud nom Saturday until Monday morning
have TO be held, sometimes as many as twenty
five prisoners, all confiaed in these four cells,
| at one time therein, tramps aud simple DRINKS
all held IN one cell at the same time. II the
city hall station had four times its present
| capacity, it would not be large
enough to confine the prisoners which
are arrested from time TO time, the
I! present station house having been erected
when the population was less than $4,000.
Then for an officer making an arrest to leave
his beat uncovered for two or three hours
while taking prisoner from the Harvester
! works, Omaha shops, or some other remote
point in the city To the City hall station is all
| wrong. In some cases good part of the city
| is without police protection nearly all night.
| Your committee are satisfied that at least
the city requires police station in the Fourth
ward, on Fort street say near Sthalman' s
brewery, one in the Fifth ward, the other side
of Phalen Creek, and one in the Sixth ward.
| To build them, however, require the purchase
OF lots 10 addition to the cost of the buildings
and for which there is no funds at present
available. AS to these buildings,
| delay, your committee ask that
after consultation with the mayor and
chief Of police they have authority TO procure
estimates CT the cost OF SAID buildings with
cost OF the necessary lots, and that when the
costs OK SAID buildings are so ascertained the
amount shall be included in the tax levy for
the year 1852.
AS these buildings cannot be erected and
| INSIDE available before the spring of 1884, your
committee would recommend the immediate
| erection OF cheap building adjoining each OF
the 4lh aud 5th ward engine houses, with say
| three or four cells each, funds FOR the cost OF
which can now be made available.
Your committee further recommend that
! without any further delay, q patrol wagon
| with team be purchased and that action be
had for putting in police telegraph the cost
of which will not exceed, as your committee
| is informed, g.: Respectfully,
LOUIS FISCHER, Chairman.
| Recommitted to ascertain cost, etc.
OF Committee or License-A. w. Wen
tmk's petition
| Committee report adverse to the
prayer of the petitioner, as your Com
mlttee do not believe that convictions in
the Municipal Court should be Interfered
| with unless with the concurrence of the
Judge Of said court. Chief Weber, who
made the arrest, and who was before the
| Committee, was clearly of the opinion
that the conviction was right.
Adopted
Also,
Aid. McCarthy's Resolution
Committee to whom was referred the reso.
luton. of AID. McCarty, revoking liquor IL
cense No. 1S3, recommend that it be referred
to the Mayor Tor such action as he may deem
proper. JOHN DoLAN,
| Chairman.
