CITY MARSHAL'S REPORT, 1877.
CITY MARSHAL'S REPORT,
FOR THE YEAR 1877.
OFFICE OF THE CITY MARSHAL, WEST NEWTON, Dec. 31, 1877.
To HIS HONOR THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF NEWTON :
Gentlemen,-In obedience to the provisions of the Ordinance relating to the Police Organization of the City, I have the honor to present herewith, the Fourth Annual Report of the transactions and present condition of the Police Department of Newton, for the year ending December 31, 1877.
The present Police Force is comprised of four- teen men, organized as follows: A City Marshal, with headquarters at the City Hall, one mounted Sergeant, who patrols the city at night, one day officer on duty at Newton Corner, one officer on duty at West Newton, from one to twelve o'clock, p. m., and ten night Patrolmen.
During the year just closed only three changes have occurred in the force, viz: one resignation prompted by personal interest, and two removals for violation of rules and regulations established for the government of the force.
108
As the vacancies created by these changes oc- curred near the end of the year they were not filled by permanent appointments, but by special officers, thus keeping the maximum number on duty.
During the year 1877 there was paid for the maintenance of the Department the sum of $14,315 75.
The expenses for December, payable in January 1878, together with a few bills previously incurred and unpaid, amount to $1,476 58, thus making the gross expenditure for the year $15,792 33.
There has been paid into the City Treasury for fees of Officers during the same period $874 64, so that the actual net expenses of the Department for the year ending Dec. 31, 1877, aggregate $14,917 69.
