Chief Jarvis Presented His Annual Report to Council. Chief Jarvis' complete and very iMer- esting annual report was presentedTo the Town Council at its inaugural session on Monday forenoon. We consider it of sufficient importance to present in its entirety entirety to our readers, as follows : To His Worship The Mayor and Town Council of the Town of Bowmanville, GENTLEMEN,--I beg to submit my annual annual report for your consideration upon the Police Department foi the year 1913- It is with a good deal of satisfaction that I draw your attention to the undermentioned undermentioned conditions and enforcement of of the different By-laws also the Criminal Department during the year ending December December 15th, 1913, You will notice by the schedule hereunder hereunder that there has been quite a number of thefts, shop-breaking, stealing and petty larceny, damaging property, disorderly conduct, assaults and other breaches of By-laws. But I may say in nearly ail of the cases reported, the criminal has -been caught and brought before the Police Magistrate and disposed of according to law. There has been an increase of 25 cases over last year heard in the Court. Truant Officer My duties as Truant Officer during this year has- not been overly hard as a number number of notices served on parents of delinquent delinquent children being the small number of twelve. Number of calls made on parents of Truant children where no notices have been served were thirty. ,1 am pleased also also to report to you that I have not found any children under 14 years employed in factories during school hours as provided" by the Truant Act. This may be accounted accounted for largely owing to better condition condition of times, more steady employment and good wages, parents are now more able to. provide for their families without the aid of child labor. Sanitary Inspector Under this heading I may say that the past year has been rather a busy one in in sanitary work. Notices served IOO, asking citizens to clean up their premises. I also made a large number of inspections of yards and out houses. The great difficulty difficulty being to keep their premises in a sanitary condition in most cases is the lack of proper drainage which I trust will in the near future be remedied when the present sewage and pure water supply is fully installed within the town. Local Option By-Law. Under this heading I wish to draw your attention to the very satisfactory working of this By-law. We have had no convictions convictions for keeping for sale or selling liquor during the year within the town. There were three seizures of liquor while in transit which I am sure you will say is very favorable for a Town of this size with the amount of construction work going on. We have had though, quite a number of drunks before the Police Magistrate Magistrate but in every case it was clearly shown in evidence that the persons so charged had obtained the liquor in Municipalities Municipalities not under restriction. , Noxious Weeds and Black Knot, Etc Under this branch of my duties there has been a number of notices served on owners of orchards, requesting them to cut out or destroy trees and to burn the parts affected with Black z Knot also the cutting and destroying of noxious weeds within the Town. I am pleased to say I find the citizens very willing to assist me in this part of my duties, especially iq the destroying of Black ^ n0 t in fpiu trees. Twish to thank HU Worship the Mayor and chairman of Police Committee and all member ÔÎ the town council for their assistance and kindness toward myself and other members of this department.
