Wm. G. Moore, superintendent of police, has submitted to the District Commis- sioners his annua! report of the operations of the police department for the fiscal year end- ing June 30, 1889. The estimates, which pre- cede the report, were printed in Tax Stax several daysago. They amount to $577,575, an r p Price as a whole... soeee 89,500 2 Op tre £83 On Rhode Island ave. near 12th st, 9-room BE 5 it te ‘t SEE Fy 2 #2 BE rm oe oe, Brick... 8 a es z onan BPR e i &, New Store and Dwelling on Connecticut ave, 2, i BS = 1 ee oe i priated last year. The estimates provide for a moderate increase of salaries, as follows: Of the captain, from $1,800 to $2,100; of the chief clerk, from $1,800 to $2,100; of the surgeons, from $480 to 9600; of the nine lieutenants, from $1,320 to $1,500; of the sergeants, from $1,140 to #1,200; of the station keepers, who in the estimates are designated station clerks, from $720 to $900; of the ambulance driver, from $480 to $600; of the assistant ambulance drivers, from $300 to $480; of the van driver and the patrol drivers, from $360 to $430. Numerous reasons are given as to why these increases of salaries should be oe A uns “ made, REAL i 806 F AN INCREASE OF FORCE NECESSARY. MA PARK—A LO On 10th st, near Q st, S-story, 10-room At the close of the fiscal year the entire force arerre Hoge SR Borne was composed of one major and superintendent, ro othe hs mest part of one captain, nine lieutenants, two Hesivasnte Shree squares fr es and inspectors, twenty-two sergeants an Der. Apig Owen ne 7 att fe rivates. Attention is directed to the necessity WIS & HEATO! ‘or anincrease in the number of sergeants. 6: Re. Five more are urgently needed, one of whom should be mounted. Fifiy-three privates, including those detailed as detectives, are on special duty daily, ‘During the Year just closed,” continues the report, “the ‘eatest average number of -_ on duty ce any tour was 110. This year it is esti- mated that the average will not exceed 129—an inerese of only 19, notwithstanding the addi- tion to the force of 56 privates. In order that this number may be augmented to at least 150 men during any tour a further addition of 5 sergeants and 54 privates is respectfully urged. Even then this department will notin num- bers compare favorably with the police estab- lishments of other large cities, only one or two of which have a larger area to patrol than that embraced within the limits of the seat of government. It must be considered that there is nota day when men are not absent from some legitimate cause and that the beats they leave vacant must becared for by the men on adjoining beats, whose area is thus oftentimes doubled. A small reserve in each precinct to fill the places of men absent from sickness or other causes is not only desirable but neces- sary. NEED OF MORE MOUNTED MEN FOR SUBURBAN DUTY. During the past year considerable attention was given tothe grounds south of the execu- tive mansion and to those which surround the Washington monument, fast driving and dis- orderly assemblages having provoked numer- ous complaints, Besides, the many acres of reclaimed land along the river front have be- come aresort for rough and idle characters who engage.in gambling and broils. In the suburban portion of the District new villages ere being rapidly built and street-car lines ex- tended. The demands upon the _— are yearly becoming more urgent and to meet those from the outly tricts as well as others from certai: tions of the city it is es- sential that of the fifty-nine additional mounted men herein asked for at least thirteen should be mounted and distributed as follows: One for service in the grounds south of the executive mansion and contiguous thereto; one for duty in the extreme northeastern section of the city of Washington, where, on account of the bad condition of the unimproved streets during in- clement weather, a footman cannot render ef- ficient service; four to be assigned to the fifth Bieeet age Ae ‘business stand. $50,000 Wots. n.w., Three Six-room BH.

Rog increase of $109,935 over the amount appro- | Joining The commitments by this department to the government hospital for the insane during the fiscal year just closed were 143, against 162 for the preceding twelve months, Attention has been called in vious reports to the embar- by Tt in determining these erously insane, pending trial, @ station the cells of which are merely intended “for the temporary deten- tion of prisoners arrested for offenses,” or until they can be brought before the Police Court, which (exce Sunday) has daily sessions, But the insane mast be held for trial by jury, and it often occurs that a deranged person, — with no offense, is confined in he requires lest he may do himself violence and is furnish meals at the expense of this department. Co! mon humanity demands that other and more suitable accommodations should be provided for the care and safe keeping of these unfortu- nate persons while awaiting the neccessary judicial proceedings to determine their sanity, MAGISTRATES’ COURTS OB MORE POLICE JUDGES NEEDED. An increase in the number of policemen will, asa rule, produce an increase in the numberof arrests, and it follows that the number of in- stances in which men are detained at the Po- lice Court (the only tribunal for the trial of police cases) will augmented In my last report the umber of sach detentions after 11 o'clock a, m, was stated at 1,453; for the past year the number was 2,240, Some remedy should be devised for this deplorable condition of affairs, either by the establishment of magistrates’ courts or an increase in the number of police judges, as the existing system adds to the sick list and compels attendance at court of men who ought to be on street duty. It has often hap- pened that there has been but one or two men eft to patrol an entire precinct, the officers as- signed to that particular tour being held at the Police Court a8 witnesses, RELIEF OF THE SUFFERING POOR, Of the $15,000 appropriated by Congress for the relief of the poor the sum of $1,640 was ap- portioned to their department by the Commis- sioners. This amount was exhausted early in the spring and the needy were then aided to the extent of $295 from the appropriation for the temporary support of in- digent persons. Voluntary contributions, ag- gregating $587, were received from charitably - disposed persons, many of whom. each year, unfailingly remember the poor. Relief was extended to some 4,300 persons. A detailed statement exhibiting the number of orders furnished for groceries and fuel in the several precincts is given, THE SPECIAL SERVICE DURING THE INAUGURAL CEREMONIES. The report gives dotails of the expenditure of the $8,500 for extra police work doing the inaugural period and states that the increase of 50 cents per day in the pay of the special policemen resulted satisfactorily; better men and superior service was the co juence. Detectives were also obtained from the cities of Boston, New York, Brooklyn, Baltimore, Rich- mond, Chicago, Detroit, St. Louisand Cincinnati and from the Pinkerton agencies to act in con- junction with the small but efficient detective force of this department. The results were all that could be desired. Order was preserved, ee were Ss _—~ a “rd ome from the person reporte e chiefs of ice of the cities mentions’ and the steam and street railroad authorities are thanked for courtesies received, and appended are letters from Col. Britton and L. D. Wine of the executive com- mittee, congratulating Major Moore and his force for the magnificent work they did during the inaugural period. TRE PRESS BADGES, The report goes on to state that ‘application was made during the year by members of the press for badges which would make them known to the police as authorized represen- tatives and entitle them to faciffties for obtain- ing information upon subjects of interest to the public, The request was granted, and it is believed that it has not only been of benefit to those who wear the press insignia but also to the community at large in disseminating cor- rect news of current eventa. MISCELLANEOUS RECOMMENDATIONS. A compliment is paid Chief Clerk Sylvester for the able manner in which his work hasbeen done, despite the insufficiency of his clerical force, and the report of the inspector in charge of the detective office is said to contain sugges- tions worthy of careful consideration. The two privates detailed for duty in his office—one an inspector of pawnbrokers and second-hand dealers and the other as day clerk—deserve a compensation equal to that allowed the de- tectives, their duties requiring both skill and intelligence. An equitable division of the appropriation of $4,000 for transportation of — and con- yeying prisoners to the work house is suggested because the work is done by two distinct classes of officials, only one of which comes under the police department. PAUPER TRANSPORTATION. “I concur,” continues the major, “in the recommendation of the sanitary officer that $2,500 should be appropriated for pauper transportation.” His report shows that the number sent last year to their relatives or friends and to soldiers’ homes aggregated 611, at an expense of $1,723.53. Among those aided Pos a iy Feppocncee 8 who came here seeking and ex, pen- sions; applicants for poads ene positions, who spent their all while vainly awaiting cov- eted appointments; others who were removed from office and were unsuccessful in their ef- forts for reinstatement; non-resident con- valescents, who, while temporarily in the Dis- trict, were compelled to avail themselves of our local asylums; jicious dered to move on, lest y might upon our citizens; men, women and forwarded thus far by other cities on their way to homes or employment; and, lastly, the not inconsiderable yaliar hal- lucinations, ii to this institution, which has afforded commendable sid to this de it, would tend to diminish this lamen' condition of THE POLICE PATROL BOAT. Good service has been rendered by the police patrol bost, as will be seen by reference to the tection of fish and game, ‘The necessity for an increase in the number of horses for use of the department is urged. THE POLICEMEN'S FUND. On June 30, 1889, the policemen'’s fund amounted to $31,706.45, The fund has been increased to some extent during the past two years by means of excursions given under the auspices of those who are liable to become beneficiaries, Without such contributions the «mount derived from the sources of revenue provided by law would not suffice to meet the present drafts of the pension roll. oe from excursions cannot be at all times pended upon, and unless prompt measures are taken to prevent such a result encroachments upon the principal cannot be avoided. To soni ene Be affairs it is urged that mngress ury to appropriate on amount equal to the — dollar each month assessed by law upon each member of the department. If this is not satisfactory there 4a another way and the draft of Pre posed is inserted in the report. It pro- vides that each policeman in active service shall be assessed €1 per month; that 65 per cent of all funds collected for violations of Dis- trict ordinances, all rewards, fines im for ——— of the rules and proceeds of all sales = unclaimed rty coming into possession the police shall be added to and form « part of the present policemen's relief fund It also rovides that any member of the force who, y reason of length of service, which shall not be less than fifteen years, or injury received or disease contracted in the dis- charge of duty, shall become permanently disabled, shall be ri etired from active ser- vice, and shall receive as compensation for such injury or for service of fifteen years and less than twenty years, 40 per month, and for service of twenty years or over $50 per month, Other provisions as to funeral ex- penses and the pensioning of the widows of officers are added. The amount of money collected for viola- tions of District ordinances is about €23,782.18 The pension list foots up to €575 per month. A YEAR'S ABRESTS. The number of cases charged’ against per- sons arrested during the year were 21,150, or 620 more than for the previous year, Of this number 8,232 were dismissed and nollie as against 8,59 the year preceding, leaving 12,918 cases which were brought before and dis- posed of by the Police Court. The cases in which colored persons—one-third of the lation—were arrested, constituted about 50 per cent of the whole number. A PERCEPTIBLE DECREASE OF CRIME, except in murders and affrays, is exbibited in the statistics.

Statistics are given to show a marked diminu- tion in all other cases of a criminal nature, NOT 80 MUCH DRUNKENNESS. On the whole, he says, there was s reduction of 309 in cases of intoxication, while the same number (41) were convicted for habitual drunkenness, a striking and suggestive ooin- cidence, There were 114 less cases of conviction for cruelty to animals and the came number (4) of cases of _—, to — A. _—. — more cases of vagrancy and suspicion, due in a great measure to the clearing of the city of these classes during the inat 7 monies, The statistics that re- newed efforts should - be made, not only by the police, but by the courts, to prevent fast driving and the carry- ing of ‘concealed weapons, ond che to ober drunkenness and va; ey. With the in- creased force provided for the coming year much, it is hoped, will be accomplished toward the abatement of offenses of kinds.
