OF P. j. BURKE


tendsnt Patrick J. Burke Of the
department, which was sub
mitted to the Board of Aldermen
last night, Is as follows:
Perth Amboy, N. j.. Jan. l, 1912.
To the Honorable Mayor and Board
of Aldermen,
GentIe-nens--
/ herewith submit for your con-
s~ideration my twentieth annual re-
port, for the fiscal year ending De-
cember 31st, 1911, giving In detail
the work performed by this depart
ment.
The conduct of the officers and
men during the past year has been
commendable. the rank and hle dis
playing activity. intelligence and
vigilance In discharge OF their duties
and it can be truly said to the
credit of the entire department that
crime has been kept In check.
The present strength OF the de-
.partment aggregates twenty-nines
one patrolman being added during
Efhe past year. This embraces every
one who performs police duty and
Includes IN superintendent, three
desk sergeants, two detective SER
|Eeants, n r~0undaman, one gtruant
officer, n mounted Officer and
|stwenty patrclmen.
In the early part of the year we
had many holdups which t~errorized
our community for a time, but the
terminals were finally apprahended
| without the loss of life, and SEN
|tcneed to long terms in prison. We
also had a brutal double murder
committed In our city during the
past year. The guilty party vas ap-
.prehended, and In now waiting the
sentence OF death. ] take great
pleasure In commencing the officers
who captured this criminal.
! would again urge that the as-
semhIy room for the p~atroimen be
| enlarged, as the present one Is en-
tirely too small for the department.
/ would suggest. as / did In my last
report, that the room In rea OF the
assembly room formerly used for
storage batteries for fire alarm sys-
tenn, be connected; this could be
done with little expense and would
give ample room for some time to
come.
This city has increased in popula-
ltion and business activities In recent
years to such an extent that / feel it
my duty to recommend that your
! honorable body purchase an ambu-
lance patrol auto. This city is fast
Deconing an Important business CEN
ter and In great need of the up-to-
, date ways OF handling business.
Lives have been endangered because
of delay In securing private convey
ances for hurried calls. therefore
