That while crime is not very prevalent at the present time, and we now have occasional days when we are not called upon to make an arrest. We prophesy that arrests will be less frequent than now in comparison with the population. Our police are now armed with revolver and baton, and we think that there will be a method of arresting desperate criminals without resorting to firearms or other deadly weapon. The position of Police Commissioner is now one of honor. Very courteously and respectfully yours. Geo. W. Fowle Ralph Phelps Jr. Marvin M. Stanton Commissioners J. Edward Dupont Secretary J. Henry Cleveland Asst. Secretary."
