Lakeview and the other at Richmond
Place. I need two more steamers, one at
Third avenue and Fifteenth street station
and one at Twenty-fourth street station
We should sell this old truck we have
and get a modern ladder which can be
handled by one or two men, and which
is effective. This one is out of date and
practically useless. We also need a water
tower, a modern up to date one.

First. Twelve hours is too long for

Second An officer would not have to
leave his beat at meal time, whereas on
the twelve hour shift, each officer is al

The rules could be more rigidly enforced

Third The number of men on night

more crime committed at night, this
would be a great advantage

good women in charge OF the Boys club

of the city who are waywardly inclined.
Rarely is an arrest made among their

1T is also gratifying to state that the
probation system instituted by Judge
Feagin on November %, 1903, among the
criminally inclined negro boys, IA years
of age and under, has wrought a wonder
full change for the better. saving the
police force of a great annoyance from
this class of law breakers. Judge
Feagin and l have been considering the
advisablity of adopting this method or
dealing with the street walkers and va
