4 AUXILIARY PUMP T0 BE OVERHAULED (Continued rrom Page 1.) appointed with Mr. Harnwell to pre- sent the matter to the council, was unable to be present. On motion of Alderman Smart, the city clerk was instructed to purchase four chairs for use of the aldermen at meetings. Barker Urges Armory. Lieutenant Barker of the naval militia appeared before the council and stated that perhaps the company might not be here on election day and urged that each and every mem- ber of the council do his utmost to further the interests of the armory project. The Bemidji Iron Works was awarded the contract, upon motion of Alderman Smart, for overhauling and repairing the auxiliary water pump. The bid of the Bemidji Iron ‘Works was the only bid and the fig- ures were $311.30 which include brass rods. The present brass rods, which are badly worn, can be sold for junk, it is believed, for around $25 or $30. Bids will be re-advertised for the raising of the foundation of the pump now in use and straightening it in alignment. Worst Condition Ever. Alderman Foucault remarked that the water works plant was in bad shape, whereat Alderman Miller ejac- ulated, “It’s in the worst condition it ever was.” President Lycan of the council was absent and so were Aldermen Fred Brinkman of the new Fifth ward, Alderman Ervin and Alderman Mo- berg. In the absence of President Lycan, Alderman Miller presided over the meeting. ANNUAL7 POLICE REPORT (Continued from Page 1) at this department’s disposal. The past year, this department has added to its group of photos and with the amount of men and means marks of identification. We have made some progress along these lines. T recommend the addition of a thor- ough bureau of identification, which ¢an be installed at a small expense. This would enable the department to cope with criminals at a greater ad- vantage as we would then be able to keep on file the ‘“crooks” that are known to the police all over the country. The cost of livery for the past year has been a heavy expense to the city, and as the city has about ten square miles in its boundary, that eomplaints come from all corners and have to be answered by the police, I think that it would be a great sav- ing to the city to have some kind of a vehicle to answer the calls. It would increase the efficiency of the department. Outsiders Increase Cost. The personnel of the department is as follows: Frank B. Ripple, chief of police; John M. Zacharias, patrol- man No. 1; John Essler, patrolman No. 2; Tke Smith, patrolman No. 3. The special police hire of the de- partment for the past year has been greater than in previous years, due to the fact that we have had to deal with the I. W. W. One of the greatest problems for the police to cope with is the I. W. 'W. agitators, and this department has had to handle this difficult prob- lem in a very careful manner so as not to create any disturbance. We have taken every precaution to pro- tect the property of the citizens and a detailed report of this department’s care of this case is attached to this report. The property of the police depart- ment is as follows: g Two desks One arrest for ohstructlng‘ side- walk, case dismissed. One arrest for operating jitney without a license, case dismissed. One arrest for defrauding an inn- keeper, case dismissed. Eight arrests for selling liquor without a license, paying fines in six cases of $250. Two cases dismissed. Three arrests for running unli- censed drinking places, two cases paying fines of $50 each. One case given fifty days in the county jail straight. There were nine arrests in juvenile cases; eight cases were given the usual reprimand of the court and one; case sent to the state training school. Arrests for Others. Total number of arrests for outside departments—39. Total number of robberies reported to the police—16, the thieves in all but two cases apprehended. Total number of calls received and answered by department—1,125. The police department received and answered about 872 letters and com- munications. Lodgers are Scarce. The number of lodgers received and sheltered by this department dur- ing the past year was 111. This is a wonderful decrease over 1915, as we lodged during 1915 some 785. In handling the automobile traf- fic that is growing larger every year, I would recommend that there be in- stalled at the different roads and streets coming into the city and the streets in the cities, suitable signs and warnings to drivers of automo- biles, stating the speed limit as al lowed by law. This, would, thinkl would do away with a lot of reckless driving. This is a full and detailed report of this department’s work during the past year and hereby tender and hope that you will approve of same. Yours respectfully, FRANK B. RIPPLE, Chief of Police.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in- flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infl d you have a rumbling sound or im- perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless. the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to its mormal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucsus sur- faces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system, 5 We will give One Hundred Dollars’ for any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Medicine.
