COMMUNICATIONS.
From His Honor the Mayor-Message-
To the Honorable, the President and Common
Council.
transmit herewith communication from
the Chief of Police, Charles Weber, in which,
| among other things, hangs the establishment
of three police station houses as auxiliary to
the main station at the City Hall. l strongly
support the recommendation as being in the
interest of the efficiency of the police
service and an economy OF time,
also approve of his recommen..

cells for combining prisoners in the City
Hall. The situation now is simply disgraceful
to humanity.
further agree with him as to the import
ance of an increase of the police force, which
| is imperatively demanded If we are to have
police affairs well administered.
The force now comprises thirty-seven patrol
men, or about one to each two thousand in
habitants. In some cities OF the
to six hundred The rapid growth
of population, the varied nationallties of which
| it is composed, the many new and enlarged in
dustries and residences coming into existence,
| in what have heretofore been the outskirts OF
the town, its topography and the dense foliage
| which, during the summer, surrounds those
| industrial localities and residences, make 1T
absolutely impossible for the force, as now
constituted, to properly patrol the town or
| the lives or property of the citizens. l there
fore, most respectfully recommend that the
number be increased fifteen.
COWS.
desire to again call your attention to the
inefficiency of the ordinance relating to cattle
running at large outside certain prescribed
limits within the city. Complaints are very
Numerous of depredations by cows particu
larry, upon private grounds and ornamental
shrubbery, many citizens asserting that they
dare not undertake to plant the latter or to
ornament their residence property with
shrubs and flowers for fear of their destruc
ton by burglarious COWS. If in your opinion ii
is inexpedient to exclude cattle entirely from
within the city limits, then 1 most respect
fully recommend that when impounded under
existing ordinances penalty for each animal
of five dollars, besides the cost of subsistence,
shall be exacted to entitle the owner to re-
lease of the same. This doubtless would in
duce many owners to restrain their animals.
The present penalty of fifty cents does not
seem to deter them from carelessness or in.
