ANNUAL REPORT OF THE CHIEF,
No mendattons-Cost OF DEPART
Building Inspectors Report.

The annual statistical report OF the po-
lice department was completed yesterday
| afternoon by Clerk Flemming and turned
| over 10 Chief Willard for inspection and
recommendations. The chief decided that
| in view of the short time he had been IA
| Office, he would allow the report TO go TO
| the commissioners with no other recon-
mendation than that from Electrician
| Pinkney regarding the telephone system
connected with the telegraph alarm sys-
| tenn, which Is now useless. Mr.. Pinkney
says:
II would recommend that an independ-
| ent wire be run for the use of the telephone
| system. Owing to faulty construction
/ this important branch of the service Is
| practically of no use. Many wires are
| parallel with electric wires of high tension
current, thus producing an induction that
state of affairs. Wherever the police
patrol system has been installed it has
been necessary to make this change, and
in no other city is 1t more required than
here. The outlay TO render the service
| good would he small"
