The sharps had ali predicted that owing to the outflow of money the surplus reserve would be wiped out, but, on the contrary, the decrease was alight, being only $153,000. The reserve now stands at 35,789,965. The handling of the loan account kept it above the } requirement, The report as a whole, howevet, while better than ex~ ted, was noting to brag about.

"The modern thief !s up to date, He knows that men and women wear as much jewelry going to work as they do returning from work in the evening, that the crush on the cars in the morn- ing is as heavy as at night and that the roll gall in every station-house in town comes off at 8 o'clock in the morning. ‘The effect of the roi! call is practically to leave the clty without police protec- tion for almoet an hour wihilo one squad Js going off duty and another on, The detective-sergeants are required to report at headquarters at 9 o'clock In the moruing, and the combination of roll calls leaves a free field for pickpockets.
