New rules and regulations for the government of the Police were adopted March 1st, and the number of 23
182
patrolmen increased from twelve to twenty. The whole number appointed during the year was twenty-six. One has deceased, and eight resigned, leaving the present force but seventeen.
I would earnestly recommend an increase of patrol- men. The large area of our city renders it impossible for the present force to guard as it should be the whole extent.
The uniform adopted by your Honorable Board has been worn by the members of the Department the past year.
The Department has labored under many disadvan- tages during a portion of the year by reason of remod- eling the City Hall building. One ante-room and the upper hall of Horticultural building, on Front street, were occupied by the officers and men, while prisoners were confined in tempory quarters in the basement of the school house on the common.
The present station, occupying the entire basement of the City Hall building, affords ample accommodation for the wants of the Department.
The increase of crime among minors in our city is truly alarming, and should excite the earnest solicitude of all lovers of virtue and good order.
I desire to make my acknowledgements to His Honor the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen, as well as to the very efficient Assistant Marshals and all members of the Police force, for the promptness and ever ready co-oper- ation in carrying out the interests of the Department, and to the Clerk of the Police Court for much valuable information and legal advice, so freely imparted at all times. I am, Gentlemen,
Very Respectfully, Your Ob't Serv't,
J. B. KNOX, City Marshal.

The building containing the machinery for crushing stone has been erected upon land belonging to the State Lunatic Hospital, and is situated on Shrewsbury street, which has been leased for a term of three years, with a right to quarry the ledge, and take the material for crushing of which there is a large supply that can be quarried at a small expense.
The Commissioner is of the opinion that there should be an appropriation made for the purpose of macadami- zing, that it is the cheapest and best material for repair- ing the streets in the Center District, where they become worn to a fine dust to the depth of from six to ten inches.
The crushing machine was run twelve days in Novem- ber, (from the 8th to the 24th,) crushing 449 cubic yds. of stone, being an average of about 37 1-2 yds. per day. The most crushed in one day was 48 yds., in one half day was 25 yds.
The expense for quarrying, crushing and drawing to Trumbull street was one 532-100ths dollars per cubic yrd.
Trumbull street has been macadamized to an average depth of about 14 inches, requiring about 539 cubic yds. of the material to cover a surface of 1334 square yds., at
187
an expense of 62 cents per square yd., and amounting to $827 08.
The items of the above were as follows :
242 days labor of men, a $2 00 per day, $482 00

The expense of laying 1334 yards of cobble
paving at $1 13 per square yrd. would be $1497 42 For macadamizing the same, 827 08
Making a saving for the use of the machinery of $670 34
The highways, streets and bridges are in their usual state of repair. Several of the bridges will have to be newly covered and otherwise repaired during the cur- rent year.
For an inventory of the Real and Personal Property belonging to the Department, see Schedule thereof ac- companying this Report.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
WILLIAM H. HEYWOOD, Commissioner of Highways.
