' Following are summaries of com- mittee reports submltted at_ last night's annual meeting of the City Council:

POLICE ACTIVITIES

Throughout the past year the Police Force was maintained at a strength of fifteen men. without change in personnel. Arrests total- led 707. a decrease of 40 as com- pared with the previous year. "Drunks." including 32 drunken drivers. account for 630 of these arrests. A lilgh standard of law and order prevailed throughout the year, with no crimes of a very serious nature. Four offenders were committed to Dorchcster Penitentiary for terms of 2 years. Two were for “shbp-breaking." and two for uttering forged cheques. There were no cases of house- breaking.

Cases entered and disposed of in the City Police Court. including arrests, amounted to 1095, with I022 convictions and 73 dismissals, a decrease of 187 as compared with the year I947. (A classification of offences and arrests was offered.)

Other duties were canied out. such as the daily attendance (Sun- day excepted) at the Police Court. policing dance halls, hockey games. prize fights. street parades. wed- dings. funerals. fires: enquiries for missing friends or relatives.

“Motor vehicle traffic continues to be quite a problem," the report states. ‘The heavy volume, due to the open winter with light snow fall. continued ln full swing to the end of the year. Our parking facilities were much improved by the widening. both sides. of Kent Street for two blocks between Queen and Prince streets. We 1n- vestigatecl numerous minor collis- ions at street intersections. Our ‘convictions under ilie traffic laws amounted to 211; three for reck- less driving; twenty two for ‘speed- ing’; four under the Highway Traffic Act; four under the Traffic By-Lsw, and 178 penalties of one dollar each imposed for‘, minor infractions of parking regul- ations. We hsd one fatal street accident. an elderly person being struck by a motor vehicle at night while crossing an intersection. ‘Ilia driver was exonerated from bla e by a Coroner's yin-y."

There were 0'! prosecutions under the old Prohibition Act. with 56 convictions and I1 dismissals. 51 prosecutions were entered under the ‘Ilemperance Act which came into force on July d. with 42 con- victions and 0 dismissals.

There were 13 prosecutions under the Ibtcise Ad. with 9 convictions and 4 dismissals.

The station offices. lock-up room and eella are reported ln good fe- psir. and are about to be re-psint- ed. On Aug. wrd a new patrol car, ‘k-ton Fargo, was psirchased for the Department. and has given satisfactory service to the close of the year, when the mllage regist- ered 1s.ooo.

SUBVEYOIPS REPORT

During the winter season the streets ware kept clear for motor traffic by the use of the snow ploughs. and sand was applied to all street crossings, to steep hills. and to sidewalks fronting on City property when required. The trees on streets and squares were pruned and trimmed as required through- out the season. _T.hc clay streets were kept smooth by scarifying. grading and rolling. Fresh gravel and ashes were applied -when necessary.

The wood and concrete sidewalks were kept ln good repair through- out tlie season. New planks and concrete blocks were laid when re- quired to replace those which had become disintegrated or broken.

During the year 1M8, labour and material used in connection with street n-aintenace have cost the City a total of 058-51658. A sum mary of this expenditure is given ln the report.)

The bed of Spring Park stream was cleaned out from the north end of Brighton culvert to its source. as were also the drains along Connolly. Valley and Upper Queen Streets. which run into it.

Blue stone was added as requir- ed to the water of Government Pond. in order to keep it clean and free from the growth of Algae, and from objectionable odours.

Total quantity of the City's permanent work as at Dec. 31:

Storm water sewers. 58.360 lin- eal feet or 10.1 miles.

Storm water catch basins. 300.

Concrete sidewalks, 152,N8 lin- eal feet or 3.8 miles.

Building Iaaqaeetden

During the year. seventy-one building permits were issued. Of these. forty-five were for residences and twenty-six were for buildings for other purposes. The total value of their construction was $845,000. Five of these permits were for buildings in the fire zone; of these. one was for the erection of an electrical warehouse in rear of an electrical business on Queen Street. one for a new building containing two shops and apartments on Kent. Street. one for extensive alterations to convert a present building into a. modern furniture store on Kent Street. one for alter- ations to a shoe store on Queen Street. and one for the erection of a 5 and 10c General store, also on Queen street.

FIRE DEPARTMENT

Estimated fire loss to properties for the year was in the vicinity of $19,000 which la remarkably low. reported Coun. Holland as chair- man of the Fire Department. The year 1948 showed 162 calls, a ra- ductlon of 3'! below the previous year.

Early in the spring the com- mittee submitted estimates for the operation of the Department for the year, including a figure for a full-time inspector whose duties would be to inspect buildings with regard to fire safety and fire hazard. While this appointment was disallowed, it is felt in the interests of the general public that such an appointment should be made. .

The acquisition of the new lad- der truck has increased the effici- ency of our fire fighting equip- ment. and it is anticipated that a booster tank will be installed on this apparatus.

“The fire fighting equipment which this City today owns is second to none with cities com- parable in size,” the report states. "The big feature. however. of our efficiency is founded on the great enthusiasm which our members display. not only in re- sponse to alarms. but also in at- tending the instructional classes which are held throughout the year. and in their attendance at the meetings of the department. It is pleasing to note also that, even though we carry a blanket sick and accident policy on our fire department, during the year we did not have one member of our entire 4d man department make any demand. or call upon this policy."

The LaFrance fire pumps: re- ceived a complete overhaul. This machine. though approximately 30 years old. ls working as well now

was connected with the water and sewerage system.

Government Pond was cleaned out and can now be well filled with water. This pond could be made a beauty spot of great. attraction by careful planning and some expense. The atone wall around the pond was also repaired.

The East. End bathiflk houses received a thorough cleaning. paint- ing and whltewashlng. Unfortun- ately one of the bathing houses was destroyed by fire early in the season. and will have to be re- placed before next season; also more seats are required. A water line was extended to provide drinking water for the large num- ber who patronize this popular re- sort. The bathing beach was kept clean and in good condition during the bathing season.

The dump in the vicinity of the Railway Y and at. the East End is filled, and dumping is now being done farther east. beyond the

Coun. Cox for the Public Property Committee. This work was auth- orized by a previous Council some years ago, but the material was not available until this year. The interior of the Police Station was cleaned and redecorated.

On the Market building also, all copper flashing and spouting on the outside was renewed and ne- cessarrrepairs made and the leak- rdbms was replaced. The whole oughly cleaned and redecorated.

At a. meeting of the committee last November a proposal to the I.M.'I‘. regarding the proposed Cen- tral Bus Terminal in the Market Building was drafted. This was sent to their head office in Saint John, and is still under considera- tlon.

The interior of the Public Lib- rary was thoroughly cleaned and redecorated. Temporary repairs were aha made to the outside doors and new blinds put on.

Early in the season the Squares were cleaned up. and was under the supervision of a caretaker a'll through the season. Many trees have died and been removed and others should be removed. but none have been replaced. The rs- port recommended that some trees be planted to replace those re- moved. t
