POLICE REPORT FOR
 YEAR COMPLETED
Interesting Statistics Compiled
 by the Police Department
CONDITIONS ARE IMPROVED
Fewer Arrests Are Made, While the Amount of Stolen Property Recov- cred Shows ncrease-Good
 Holiday Record Shown.

The annual report of the Birmingham police department which will be submit ted to Mayor Ward this morning was com pleted last night by Desk Sergeant Mullin. The statistics gathered show that in 1905 s795 arrests were made by the police and that during the previous year s9l2 persons were placed behind the bars or allowed to make bond.
 The number of arrests made in 1904 ex eeed those of 1905 by IT, but at the same time the report shows that the amount of fines collected during the past year exceed those of the previous year by $6,s7669.
 One of the most gratifying features of the records of the past year, say the police officials. is the decrease in ar rests, when it Is remembered that fifteen more policemen were on the force than In 1904
 In 1905 the members of the force re- covered stolen property to the value of 80, ,72s. r. while in 1904 the same kind of property recovered amounted to but slS,- S99.66.
 Felony Charges.
 Felony charges for 1905 increased over the previous year. 79. In 1905 out of the total of 9795 arrests 5s2 persons were charged with feonies, while in 1904 the number of felony cases was 4S3. The mis- demeanors in 1905 were 92SS. During the previous year the total was 9629.
 The report shows that the total amount necessary to operate the department dur ing the past year was $63,SOo, and that the fines and stolen property recovered foots up s62.334 which means that the net expenses of maintaining the depart ment cost the taxpayers just $966. These figures do not include prisoners who have been fined and failed to pay their fines, and instead were compelled to work out their sentences on the streets and public works of the municipality.
 The figures of the desk sergeant show that the clerk of the police court col- lected in 1905. $1s,49S.S9 and that the war den of the city prison collected $121O7so.
 Out of the total number of arrests 245 persons were bound over to the grand jury.
 The report also shows that the arrests during the holidays were smaller than for any similar period since 1892
 Strong Point.
 The great increase in the amount of stolen property recovered is something that the police believe indicates the strength of the department. Statistics in tabuated form follows:
