CAWKER & SON Victoria Building Butchers Phone 64 Bowmanville MANY CASES IN POLICE COURT DURING PAST YEAR Chief Richard Jarvis Presents Hia 37th Annual Report The Statesman bas neyer made ai practice of reporting court news from week to week as this paper bas always taken the stand that little good is derived fromn giving publicity to happenings heard in a court room. Because this departmnent of the town's municipal activities is noti featured in the local press some citi-1 zens are inclined to believe that the- police are negligent of their duty.1 For the benefit of our readers andi in fairness to Chief Richard Jarvis and Night Constable Walter Hall we publish the following report from the Police Department which was readi at February Council meeting: To His Worship, the Mayor and Council of the Town of Bowmanvîlle and Chairman of the Police Commit- tee. Gentiemen,-I beg to submit my annual report on the working of the Police Department for the year end-1 ing December 31,. 1926, including a summary of the cases tried in the Police Court. It is with some satis- faction that I am able again to re- port no serious crimes such as murder The Police Court records show a decrease in amount of fines and costs collected, the defendants ap- parently choosing to take the jail termi in lieu of the money penalty. A great many accidents occur caused by motor vehicle traffic, gen- erally a property damage resulting. There is altogether too much speed- ing and reckless driving. The De- partment should have some better means of curbing the reckless driver. as the increased motor traffic will on- ly result in a greater number of acci- dents and fatalities. During the year 174 cases have been called in the Police Court for the year ending December 31, 1926, as follows:1 Breach of O. T. A ............... 9 Reckless driving. .:............. 7 Breach of Motor Vehicle Act . .. .39 Prejury.................. ...... 1 Vagrancy...................... 10 Fraud .... ..............31 Breaking, entering and theft .... 3 Theft..........................12 Assauit (Common). ............. 1 Assault doing bodily injury....... 1 Drunk and disorderly...........il1 Breach of Lottery Act........... 2 Trespassing on railway property. 2 Assault indecent)...............2 Obtaining by false pretence .... 1 Peddling wNithout a license....... 3 Transient traders.............11 Leaving accident without giving namne.............4 Neglect to suppo rt famrily.......

It has not been fournd necessary to prosecute to any extent. J43 doors of business promises havei been found open or insecure at nightj by the police and the owners notifie d. There is considerable carelessness on the part of citizens in this respect.I 160 transient lodgers were given shelter in the police celîs and allowed to go the foluwing morning. There were 241 occurrences of lost 'and stolen property persons wanted, etc., reported to the police as follows: Bowmanville 33, Ontario 173, Can- ada 10, United States 25-Total 241.

SPEED SKATING MEET AT BOWMANVI'LLE FEB. 23rd Many have heard that ýBowman- ville is to be treated to an honest- to-goodness speed skating meet. This big event on Wednesday, evening, February 23rd., should make Tay- lor's Arena the centre of interest for miles around. As far as is known, this is the first time that this sport bas been introduced in Bownaanville and it should go over big and attain the success that is necessary to estab- lish this meet as an annual affair.

This meet is the ressuit of months of careful planning and its sole pur. pose is to supply competition and stimulate sports in Bowznanville. It is only one of a series of ventures being planned by a Physical Depart- ment of the Boys' Training School to help bring Bowznanville to the fore as a leadîng sporting centre.
