was called out 502 times in 1910 and in the year just ended it responded to 1,267 calls. It is the opinion of this board that the time is fast approach ing when the city should have Sepa- rate vehicles for the conveyance of the sick and injured and for the mak- ing of arrests. During the year an arrangement was made for rhe con- Veyance of patients to the hospital for which a charge of $2 per trip is made.
 This arrangement will yield revenue of about $400 a year to the city. The charge is made for arrests in which the patrol is called repre- sents an income of about $600 a year to the city. Of the total calls last year 1S2 were for the conveyance of the sick and injured, the other thou sand or more calls were for various forms of police duty Several times of late calls have been received for the patrol when it has been out and the result was that the department was held responsible for delays over which it had no control.
 The police department inventory reached a total of $3G,GSO, not inclnd- ing the police signal system tha+ is ap- praised at $3,700. There arc eighteen police signal boxes and eighteen miles of wires in the system.
 Chief Rawlings has had prepared tabulation of the complaints according to streets and classified them by wards and by this means has aac2rtained what sections of the city the most complaints came from and Inc local ities needing the most attention. The study covered a period of three years and the complaints classified accord ing to wards is as fol'Ovs:
 First, 69S; second, SAT; third, 599; fourth, 1,777 fifth 1, ,466 sixth, 1,716. The large expenditure in the super rUmerary payroll account last year was largely due to the strikes. The financial statement.

Balance
In Conclusion,

In addition to the installation of motor fire equipment and the prob able change for a call to a more per manent fire department other i'm provements calculated to reduce the fire hazard and looking to the i'm provement of the fire service are contemplated.
 The police service, too, will be inn proved.
 As far as possible the electrical de- Dartment will be bettered. This board recognizes the many courtesies during the past year and is grateful.
 Respectfully,

 Police Department.
 The growth of the city has been so rapid that for years the department has been backward in it's quota of men, according to the accepted basis of police protection, namely one pa trolman to every 1000 of city popu- Iation. Through the addition of the ten additional men to be appointed this year New Britain will arrive near the accepted ratio of police protec- tion and thereafter by the appoint ment of two patrolmen annually the department will be kept up
 Records of the police departm ent emphasize the growth of the city. Tn 1907 there were 1,064 arrests and 1,618 last year, or 8 gain of about sixty per cent. Tn 1908 the depart ment began the keeping of records of complaints and then there were 1885. For the year ending March 31, 1916, there were 2,666 complaints. The collection of licenses indicates the growth of the city and the increased duty. The first year S1.O59 was col lected and in tho last fiscal year the sum of s2,452.

FRED C. OHM, GEOLOGIST,
DIES AT THE AGE OF 81
Native of Denmark, Who Since 1898
Served in Laboratory Of Gov
ernment Survey.

Fred C. Ohm, a native of Denmark,
and since 1893 in charge Of the geo.
logical surveys laboratory for grind
ing thin sections of rock that may be
studied in regard to their optical prop
critics and their structure. died yester-
day at the age of fifty-seven.
Mr.. Ohm learned the delicate art of
which he was a master from his
brother Hermann, who came to the
United States in 1884. In cooperation
with him he developed the special lab
oratory which prepares thin slices and
polished surfaces of various rocks for
microscopic study. His work was IA
vorably known among biologists gen
orally throughout the country as well
as among the experts of the survey.
Rocks that had been put through the
process of which he was the perfecter
became so thin that they were ap-
proximately transparent.
The funeral, which will be under the
auspices of Federal Lodge, No. I, F. A.
A. NJ, of which Mr. Ohm was long a
member, will be held from his late
residence, 1925 Flagler place northwest,
at pm. tomorrow.

To Join Advertising Clubs.

The board of governors of the Retail
Merchants Association has authorized
the advertising mems section of the
association to affiliate with the Asso-
ciated Advertising Clubs of the World.
The association probably will be rep
resented when the associated clubs
hold their annual gathering in Phila-
delphia in June.
The governors received an announce
ment that largely as the result of a
movement started by the association
for better boat facilities on the lower
Potomac river, the Potomac and Chesa-
peake Steamboat Company soon is to
put in service new steamer named
the Majestic. The company proposed
to maintain a tri-weekIy service on
the river as far down as Leonardtown
and perhaps lower beginning April l.
The Majestic now is being fitted out
for the river trade at the old ferry
wharf in Washington harbor.
