Your CON mittee 10 whom the petition from
the citizens of the Sixth ward was referred,
asking for four additional patrolmen, respect
fully report. After consultation with police
authorities, we find that the Sixth ward have
now as good police protection rs any part OF

ward would leave some other part of the
city entirely unprotected; the new police
alarm system now being constructed viii
give the Sixth wari much better protection
when completed than it has at present, as 1t

pleased to say That the police records show
that the patrol wagon Is called less 20 the
