Total J 74,520 00 I submit above the estimated wants of my department for the fiscal year 1900, which will somewhat exceed th" amounts received for tho past fiscal year, and In consequence I will en deavor brlelly to call your attention to some of the Increased Items. First The necessity for more detec tives. While we have done a vast amount of good work with our present limited force of one man, it Is farcical to try to keep pace with the criminal forces of a city of this size without the additional help asked for being granted. We have at times as many as ten cases that require the services of a detec tive, nnd many things that should have been attended to are left undone. Second l earnestly call your atten tion to the want of more Datrolmen. Wo should have at least ten more men, the fact that the city covers an area of nearly twenty square miles and that the total strength of our present forco Is only fifty-four men. Deduct eighteen natrolmen and olllceis for day duty nnJ Hint leaves us with but thirty-six patrolmen and six officers for night duty. A fotce of that size in a citv of 115,000 Inhabitants Is wholly insufficient to uppte:.s crime and give anything like protection to lire and property. Third You will find two items, one for $360 and one for $500. The one for $:!R0 Is for rent of a suitable place In the North Knd for n station house, nnd the $500 Is for Iron or steel cages to put In the same. A continuance of the use of the station house of the North End Is almost out of the Question. It has been condemned time and again by the hoard of health, and was recently vis ited by the mayor and Councllmen Keller and Ross, who were loud in their condemnation ot such a place for men to be compelled lo'spend their time In. Something must be done for this place or the city will have suits for damages on her hands. Fourth You will find an Item of $5,000 for a police signal system, said system to consist of fifty boxes. These sys tems (and there nre thiee or four dif ferent kinds) nre the newest things In police circles. With one of them in use police headquarters can be In constant communication with any officer on his beat at an time, and all cities of any progress are adopting one or the other of the systems. The cost may seem largo at first sight, but when you tnke Into consideration the fact that we are now paying $300 per annum for eigh teen telephones, you can readily see that In a few years the system would pay for Itself, Respectfully submitted, Frank Robllng.
