The department have a. large number of homes to protect while residents were away on holidays. etc. We also en- courage our citizens to notify us when they leave town. Seventy-three per cent. of all pro- perty reported stolen during the year has been recovered andis or will be returned to the owners. This is in large measure due to the good work of the Investigation Department under Inspector A. M. Olson. The. officers on patrol have found 849 doors of business places left open. We have made an effort to make such places more secure and requested a great number to install night lights. they leave town. There is a tremendous increase in lodgings given to transients. During 1938 the Council passed by- laws regulating traffic. the signs were placed under the direction of the Police Department. Traffic lights were in? stalled on two of our busiest corners. With the rigid enforcement of the Highway Traffic Act by the Depart- ment a decrease in the number of acci- dents and persons injured has been noted. This is shown in Constable Atkinson‘s report which is attached hereto. We had a conviction for job selling and since Llien no complaints of this nature has been reported .to us. The new by-law for licensing of bi- cycles has been a help to the investi- gators and has also resulted in a de- crease in the number of bicycles stolen.

Feb. l.-â€"Following .the an- it'utl meeting of Polaris Gold Mines in Detroit last Saturday, a statement. was issued to shareholders over the signa- ture of President P. W. Seller. in which it is stated that during the year under review Polaris completed full payment for the shares of Faymar Porcupine Gold Mines. optioned in October. 1937. and that since the last progress report was issued in November drifting has been continued on both levels. with re- sults so encouraging that funds deem- ed sufficient to carry the development program through to production have been arranged for by Faymar. The speed with which the develop- ment program followed the diamond- drilling campaign of last winter was. the statements says. made possible through anticipation of option pay- ments by Polaris. Funds were ad- vanced as rapidly as required and the options exercised in full in a period of less than a year. although nunning to 18 months. The interests controlling Polaris now step forward to assume the balance of financing direct. At no time has there been a public offer- ing of F aymar stock. The original Polaris preperties have been kept intact. but no expenditures have been made in that direction dur- ing the year. Detroit Interests To Carry Property to Success. Detroit interests. who financed de« velopment in early stages have now acquired a direct participation through Senior Corporation. which has con- eluded a firm underwriting agreement with Faymar for the balance of the treasury shares. 1;. is also announced that Shoemake; and Burnham have been retained to design the electric plant and super- vise its installation. Preparatory to sinking the shaft to 625 feet and open- ing two additional levels. the headi’rame is being enlarged and strengthened and a new power house cons. 'ructcd to house the electric plant.

Feb. 2â€"Fire that rag- ed six hours swch through a three- storcy building at. Main and Seventh streets Saturday, destroying several of- fices and one store at an estimated loss of $50,000. February (5th and 7th Limited Another reduction in power rates is announced this week by the Canada Northern Power Corporation. this IM- est, reduction meaning very material savings for the mines of the North. It has been the settled policy of the Power Company to make reductions in rates as soon as increased business makes this possible. In other words they pass on to their customers the benefits in the steady growth of the power company business here. This present reduction is the eighth simi- lar cut in rates since 1930. In 1930 the inauguration of the optional residential rate made large savings for domestic customers. In 1933 an optional com- mercial rate gave large savings to com- mercial customers. Again in 1934 and in 1936. there were further reductions that benefitted both domestic and com- mercial users of power. In 1935. 1937. 1938 and new again in 1939. notable reductions have been made that haVe greatly benefitth the mines. That the polieyéis a settled one may be best il- lustrated by the fact that an offical announcement says that. another re- duction will become effective in 1940. which will mean an additional saving to the mines of the North amounting to an aggregate of $300000 per year. The official statement this week concludes with the words. “Following this policy it is the intention of the eompny to continue making reductions from time to time as conditions warrant.
