were provided and the force divided, the
/ efficiency of the department would be
| greatly promoted. | would respectfully
suggest that these Sub-stationS be located:
| One Ill the upper portion of the Fourth
ward, one in the lower portion of the Fifth
ward and one in the Sixth ward. The large
! Increase in the business of this department
is demonstrated by the detailed statements
accompanying this report, and the accom-
modatlonS ut police headquarters are Ell
tlrely inadequate to transact it. The TACT
that six thousand dodgers were provided for
during the past twelve months at police head
quarters is only one of the many evidences
of the crowded condition of affairs. The
large increase of territory also suggests the
fact that the force as at present constituted
is too small to properly protect the lives
and property of our citizens; constant COM
plants are received from citizens residing
outside of the thicllly settled portions of
the city of the lack of police protection.
and the compliments do not seem satisfied
when they are informed that the force of
patromen is as well distributed as it
can be under the circumstances. Our force
is the smallest in the United States COM
pared With our population, and | feel no
hesitation in saying that at least twenty
five additional patrolmen should be author
lied and that eight of them should be
! mounted.
During the past year there has been a
noticeable absence of serious crime. The
statement of the amount of property re-
ported stolen and recovered by the depart
ment is also exceedingly satisfactory. The
most serious loss was the larceny Of some
So. 600 from the Peoples bank, all of which
