scores average between IS per cent and
so per cent; those between 50 per cent
and 80 per cent; and those better than 90
per cent There will be a prize for the
first in each class. The other style will
be something new for this club at least,
and is intended to add variety to the
shooting and SO increase the interest OF
the shooters. 1t will also greatly in
crease the interest in the contests tor
those who are looking on at the shoot.
In each contest every shooter will have
ten targets thrown at unknown angles;
five at expert rules, and five pairs. AS
the targets shot at expert rules and the
pairs will have to be shot zone more up
it will be very much more interesting for
the friends of the shooter to watch, as
they can then easily see just what every
ma is doing, not having to follow a
squad of six men, as is necessary when
shooting at the keystone system at known
or unknown angles, as is now done.
There will be prize for the first at this
method of shooting. the five best scores
of all contestants at the ED of the season
to count, and all shooters to be on an
equal footing, no handicap of any kind
being used. 1t is expected that this will
add greatly to the interest of the club
members. The regular shoots for the
season will be held on the first and third
W ednesdays of April and May, and the
first and third Saturdays of June, July
and August, and on the forenoon and af-
tie rnoon of every holiday. There will be
q contest on both of the above styles OF
shooting on every regular club lay except
Fast Day, when the contest at unknown
angles, expert and doubles will be omit
ted on account of the tournament. Ar
rangements for the tournament are pro-
crossing favorably and the outlook for a
successful affair is very bright. The first
regular shoot will be held next Wednes-
day afternoon.

department would be the purchase of an
ambulance and I earnestly recommend
that one be obtained At times when
such a conveyance is required we are
obliged to depend on outside parties or
use the patrol wagon. This does not seem
hardly the thing to send for an injured
person, particularly while in transit. the
ease and comfort is not obtained that is
demanded in the carrying Of such persons
who may require the use Of this kind of
carriage Dependence on outside convey
ance counteraots dispatch and quick
action is very essential when an ambu-
lance Is sent for.
ENLARGEMENT OF THE STABLE.
To meet the requirements that the SER
vice demands feel that the time has
come when the enlargement of our sta BILE
should be seriously taken into oonsidera-
ton. recommend an addition be put on
the rear with a suitable exit therefrom
through which the prisoners may be
taken and carried direct to the cell room
outer entrance that is now there. This
prevents the prisoners from being sub
jected to the gaze Of curious bystanders
who are In the habit of collecting at the
stable entrance and watching the move
ments of the arrested persons when they
are taken, as they now are, from the side
stable door across the open yard to the
station door, There are times when re-
moving persons from the wagon scenes
occur that are not proper to be witnessed
by people young or old. To accomplish
this point it is not entirely necessary to
enlarge our present stable but as matter
of fact it is not large enough or arranged
lust as it ought to be for comfortable
business.
We need another wagon of lighter build
than the one we now have, one more suit
able for quick run as in the case of fire
when it is important that this depart
ment be represented there fully as quick
as the fire department. During my brief
connection as head of the department.
feel fully justified in making the recon-
mendations that I have presented as the
service requires all have stated to faclll'
tate the handling of business.
While / am aware that all our wants
and needs cannot forthcome at once yet |
should like to see an immediate beginning
by taking up the most needed changes
first and finally bring all to completion as
soon as practicable.
