Major Walker in his annual report to the District Commissioners of the operations of the police department, ealarges upoa the recom- mendations submitted in brief with bis esti- mates looking to an increase In the force, and some changes in the organization. He presents statements showing that while in the Distriet there is only un average ofone policeman to the square mile patrolling at one tine, in St. Louis tuere are 3, Boston, 4; Louisvilie, 5; Chicagy, 9; Cincinnatl, 10; Brooklyn, 10; Bulthore, i4, New York 23. There is one policeman on duty to every 2,700 popuiation in this elty; one to 2,400 in St. Louls; to 1,600 in Boston, to 2,142 in Louisville, to 1,842 in Chicago, to 2,625 in Ciueinuatt, fo 2,000 in Brooslyn, ‘to 1,800. in Balthnore, and t 1,395 in New York, AN INCKEASED FORCE NECESSARY.
