Many Song Hits at the Kiwanis Musical Comedy The total number of cases deaX with during the year was 1357, and even this impressive figure represents only a part of the work of the Devartâ€" ment, as will be seen by a study of the statistics herewith. It will be noted that the number of thefts, breakâ€"ins, burglaries, etc., is comparatively low, despite general conditions that would make these forms of crime common. This has been due to the excellent patrol work carried out all through the year, which often resulted in the acâ€" tual prevention of these forms of crime, while another important factor was the fact that the Department did not allow a single case of this kind to go without the most patient continued investigation. In this connection I would like to express my special appreâ€" ciation to Deputy Chief Mervyn Salâ€" ley and Sergeant Leo H. Gagnon, whose work in these lines as well as in all other departments of police work, has been both earnest anq effective.

The statistics given herewith indiâ€" cate the extended scope of Uir: work of the Police Department of the Town of Timmins and I hope the present law and order of the town prove that the work of the Department has been carrieg through with success and efâ€" fectiveness. Despite the large number of matters engaging the attention of the police during the year, I am npleased to be able to state that there is not a Lingle major crime of any kind during the year that has not beeon cleansd up by the Department. _The following is Chief Ralph Paul‘s report in full as submitted this week Ito the town council: Timmins, Onlario, January 11, 1936 To the Mayor and Councillors of the Town of Timmins. Gentlemen:â€"I have the honour to submit herewith my report as Chief Constable, for the year One Thousand Nine Hundred and Thirtyâ€"five. "A good report! A good police chief! A good police force! Excellent service to the town|" A study of the report will suggest the large number of ways in which the police department is of valuable serâ€" vice to the town. After a perusal of the report the general opinion will be: Another feature of the report is the special service given to the business section of the town to prevent breakâ€" ins and thefts. In this connection it may be of interest to note that 114 cases were found of doors unlocked or premâ€" ises left insecure. The annual report of Chiec{ of Police Raiph Paul is an interesting and inâ€" formative document and shows in effecâ€" tive way the immense amount of work done in the year by the police departâ€" ment, The total number of police court cases was 1357. There were 2632 comâ€" plaints investigated. The number of arrests totalled 752, with 605 sumâ€" monses executed. There were 887 liquor search warrants executed during the past year. It will be noted that special attention was given to the enforcement of the traffic laws in the interests of public safety.

Rel‘ief Work Needed Councillor Caron <mphasized the need for relief work in Timmins at the moment. . Town Engineer MacLean went into the details of the schems and described it all as work that should be done. About forty men were in the town hall at four o‘clock, apparently under the impression that it was the regular (Continued on Page Six) The money the council proposes to use is a "surplus" that was built up in the waterworks department last year, estimated variously between $10,000 and ‘A17,000, The right to use such a surâ€" plus for such a large immediate exâ€" penditure was the point on which a long discussion of the subject turned. In the end it was decided to gst legal opinion and to write the Municipal Board, who nowadays have the right to question any municipal expenditur:s of more than $500. Surplus Formerly Used In previous years, Dr. Day pointed Jut, any surplus from the waterworks department had been turned over to the general account and was thereafter used to. defray the general expenses of cunning the town. Mayor Bartleman took the position that money raised from the users of water, who often are only tenants, should be put back into the waterworks department. Councilâ€" lor Laporte was of the opinion that the waterworks department should have a substantial reserve, that d>â€" ductions should be made from the surâ€" plus of $17,000 quoted by the mayor for depreciation and office expenses in the waterworks. Auditor G. N. Ross was asked his opinion in the matter and statea that he believed the surplus would actually be at least $10,000 after all possible deductions had been made. There was at least reasonable assurance, he said, of there being a similar surplus during the coming yvear. Several good reasons why the work should be done were given at a meeting of the councillors yesterday in comâ€" mittee of the whole yesterday afterâ€" noon. It was stated that it would supâ€" ply work for 40 or 50 of those who are in receipt of relief from the corporaâ€" tion; it is all necessary work that should be done at some time or another and will have to be done some time in the future if not now; it would safeguard the water system from breakdown to some extent because the connecting of dead ends would remove "surges" from the water line that occasionally reach a great enough pressure to do damage in home plumbing systems. spend awbout $13,000 on connecting up "dead ends" of water lines all over town; they‘d like to spend another $2,300 on installing sewer lines in the same trench with the water lines; and another $4,715 on the muchâ€"needed storm sewer from the west end of Third avenue down Main to Rea. What‘s more, they have the money at hand to accomplish the work without issuing debentures.
