Cleveland Crime
Rate Much Lower
Major Crimes Down II Per
Cent; Two-WdY Radio
Takes Credit

Chicago ULNS) two
way police radio system and a zone
patrol system, in full operation for
the first time last year, have been
given credit for the II per cent drop
in the city's major crime rate in 1889,
information to the International AS
sociation of Chiefs Of Police said. The
percentage decrease represented LIT
fewer felonies in 1889 than in 1898.
Under Cleveland's police-radio sys-
tenn, three transmitting stations To-
Gated in different sections of the city
give complete radio coverage to Cleve-
land and more than so suburbs. Two
way radio equipment is installed in
about 100 zone patrol cars, and in
detective cruisers, patrol wagons and
emergency cars. The zone patrols,
through more complete communica-
tions, are able to cover the scene of
crime more speedily than before.
Capt Chester |. Burnett, head Of
Cleveland's record bureau, said the
largest comparative drop in major
crimes was in automobile manslaugh-
ter, which decreased AS per cent.
Other decreases: robberies, 80 per
cent; shootings, al per cent; safe
crackings, Al per cent; pocket pick
ing, al per cent; auto stealing, 81
per cent These decreases were offset
partly by increases in attempted bur
glaries, house breaking and larceny
