Kind, that fact can be sent to the station

general alarm means just that in Brook
lyn. You can say that the police patrol
system as 1t exists in Brooklyn Is su-
supt. Mason did not have the data as
to the cost OF the police patrol plant
He suggested that the accountant. Thomas
Carroll, be seen on the subject. Mr..
"I cannot give you the exact figures,
but I can give you a fair idea OF the
cost OF the patrol plant as 1t exists to-

central once plant ana 5000 Tor ten miles
Of wire, and you have 5000, or the COM
plete cost Of the material for a pre-
cinct. For sixteen precincts the cost
would be $4,000.
Seventeen wagons at $3.50 Is $3.50
Three wagons at $3.50 is s., $50. making the
total cost for wagons 81 800. We get the

two OF them, which makes $4,000
Twenty sets OF patent harness, at SIS
each, is s.. 500. 1t costs Sc. 100 to keep the
horses at $3.50 a year each.
Most of our stables were built with
the station-houses. Where this is not
the case we hire stables at $50 a month,
or $500 year.
"There are Two practical linemen at
81, 200 a. year. Then there is rental Of
5000 for the telephones in use In the
boxes. All the employees are men de-
tailed from the regular police force. and
cannot be counted as an expense to that
branch of the work very well. The re-
pairs cost about 5000 year.
81 have given you maximum figures
in almost every case, and the total ex-
pense of fitting out the patrol system
has been $l2S,560 during seven years.
This does not include salaries"
Mr.. Carroll said 1t would be much
cheaper to ft out ten or fifteen more
precincts than are already In operation.
He said he would like to have the con-
tract to put the system In working order
in any city not any more widely spread
than Brooklyn with thirty-five precincts
for $3.50 900, or $2z5. 900 at the most
He said he would be very well repaid
for his work at those figures.
