 PATRoLMEN
 wish to say before close this report that the patrolmen are the backbone of the police department. They are out in all kinds of weather, let it be rain or snow or sunshine; night and day, they face the elements in all its fury. They come In contact with the most dangerous of all criminals. They prevent crime and have to face danger in all of its terrible conditions and emergencies. Too much cannot be said of these men that are guarding the lives and property of our people while the citizen is peacefully sleeping, or by the fireside of his family These men never know when they leave their home to report for duty whether they will ever see that home and their family again. They know not when they will meet the criminal and assassin, who values life so small, and that they may be the victim of either of these fends cowardly shot.
 But my experience with the men is that they stand ready and willing at any and all times to answer the call of duty. They seldom complain and seem anxious to have this board think well of them. They know that so long as they are true to duty and faithful in the discharge of same they have friend in this board He should make honesty and efficiency his chief aim while on the police force. and by so doing he can rest fully confi- dent that his superior officers and this commission will stand by him in any emergency.
