This fund is maintained as follows: Fifteen per cent. of all rewards, fees, pro- ceeds of gifts and emoluments that may be allowed by the board of police to be paid, or given on account of extraordinary services of a member of the police force; all unclaimed money; the proceeds arising from the sale of unclaimed property ; one-third of all the moneys collected by the police court on account of services by the the police force of writs issued by such court; all policemen's fees, members of the police force to be allowed the same fees as other persons in the police court; and one-half of the foreign insurance collected by the county treasurer on the tax dupli- cate. The board of police commissioners and five members of the police force con- stitute the pension fund trustees. We have at the present time seven members on the pension roll: One detective, two sergeants, four patrolmen. The monthly pay- roll of same is $370.00. There are several members on active duty who could be placed on the pension roll if they so desired it, as they have been in active ser- vice for over twenty-five years, and are entitled to same according to law. Should a patrolman die, his widow or minor children receive the sum of $500.00.
All citizens who help us in this worthy cause will say it is money well spent, and we are thankful for the interest the citizens have taken in this matter.

Bertillon System.
This system has been in operation for two years. By this department, all good crooks when arrested are measured by this system; also photographed. A description and photo of same is also sent to the National Bureau of Identification, at Chicago, Illinois, which is operated and under the management of the chiefs of police of the United States and Canada. When a crook is once arrested and measured, and he is placed on record at the Central Bureau, he can be identified at any time, no matter where the arrest is made, or in years to come; men and women as they grow older change in appearance, but this makes no difference with this system. Once correctly measured and described properly, it is good forever. A description of the measurement is as follows: Height, head width, head length, right ear, left, middle finger, left little finger, left foot, left forearm, all scars and marks on his person. It is only a matter of time before every department in the country will have this system, as it is of great importance and help. Without the Bertillon system no department is complete.

Fire Protection of the City.
HE most valuable auxiliary of the Police Department in keeping peace and order in a city and protecting its citizens is the Fire Department. The two work hand in hand, and in helping each other make their own work more effective. This being the case in Toledo we think it advisable to give a short and concise history of our very efficient and valuable Fire Laddies.
From a volunteer bucket brigade of two score men in 1837 the Toledo fire department progressed until 1868, when it became a paid institution, and in 1890, when the present chief assumed control, it commenced to expand, reaching a condition of efficiency that to-day places it with the foremost scientific fire-fighting institutions of the country.
The first step toward protecting the city from fire was taken on November 27, 1837, when the common council adopted a resolution providing that whenever not less than forty citizens should organize themselves into a fire company, a fire engine, hose wagon, hose and ladders would be purchased for their use. This was done, and, as an additional precaution, every property owner was required to keep leather fire buckets in his building, The engine cost $1,000, and the engine house cost $78.00. It was built on Cherry Street. where No. 1 engine house stands to-day. The first fire wardens, or commissioners, were James M. Whitney, Worden N. Richardson and Daniel Segur, appointed December 29, 1837.
In those days the sextons of Trinity Episcopal Church and St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church were required to ring their bells, giving the alarm of fire to the citizens, under penalty of arrest and fine of $2.00. The engine. was pulled to the scene of the fire by the volunteer company, which had power to impress citizens to help them. Any person who failed to take hold of the rope and pull rendered himself liable to arrest. All who responded to the ringing of the bells were expected to form in line and pass buckets of water from wells and cisterns to the fire. The first volunteer company arriving at a fire received a prize of $10.00 in cash. The cost of maintaining the fire department for the

year 1838 was just $45.05. In 1858 the city had half a dozen volunteer fire companies, numbering from thirty to sixty men each. The total number of volunteers was 430 under Chief Engineer William H. Ketcham. But in 1868 the volunteer system gave way to the paid department.
The first chief fire engineer was Charles McLean. In 1845 the position was filled by Gideon W. Weed, who also served as city marshal and head of the police system, then consisting of a number of watchmen. Since 1866 the chiefs of the department have been : P. H. Galloway, 1866; Elias Avery, 1867-68 ; Chris. Woehler, 1869-78; J. G. Avery, 1879-85 ; John Nageley, 1886-89 ; Christopher F. Wall, 1890-1900.
The fire department has for some time been governed by a board of four commis- sioners, two democrats and two republicans, appointed for a term of four years by the mayor, subject to the approval of the council.
There are at present fifteen fire stations in Toledo. These consist of commodious two-story brick buildings that house men, horses and apparatus. The men have com- fortable sleeping apartments on the second floor of each building. These stations are situated with reference to the importance of the locality with regard to property value.
The apparatus distributed among these stations consists of four first-class La France steam fire engines ; two second-class Ahrens steam fire engines ; one second-class Clapp & Jones steam fire engine ; one third-class Silsby steam fire engine-all told eight engines ; eight combination hose and chemical wagons; three four-wheel hose carriages ; four hose wagons - all told fifteen hose vehicles ; one Babcock aerial hook and ladder truck -three Seagrave hook and ladder trucks-all told four ladder trucks ; two Muskegon chemical engines ; one Champion chemical engine, and one Champion water tower.
There is in service 29,400 feet of 21/2 inch cotton hose, and seventy horses.
The department protects 28 57-100 square miles of territory, and to this duty 128 men are assigned and classified as follows : One chief ; two assistant chiefs ; one superinten- dent of fire alarm ; three operators ; nineteen captains ; eight engineers ; eight assistant engineers ; thirty-one drivers ; forty pipemen, and fifteen laddermen.

The fire department property is valued at $325,000, and it costs $127,000 per annum to maintain the institution, which is conducted on economic lines, as the fire force includes machinists, carpenters, painters, horseshoers, veterinary men, telegraph linemen- all skilled labor; and besides his duties in keeping the system in repair, each man has his special duty to perform at every fire.
Unlike the arrangement in vogue in several cities, Toledo is not divided up into fire districts, with so many stations to the district. Here every alarm box is a district in itself, and the nearest companies to that box respond upon call. This saves delay, as in the station system a fire originating on the district boundary could gain headway while a station a mile distant was responding, and a station three blocks distant in another district could not answer the call.
