With reference to the foregoing statistics, I wish to call your special attention to the matter of burglaries, which started much earlier in the season than usual, last year. This is probably explained by general con- ditions of lawlessness existing over the entire country. Seven of the burglaries listed oc- curred on one night and included a property loss of only $38.60 in cash and a small amount of clothing. The remaining three burglaries did not average over $2,000 in property loss, according to the value placed on the property stolen. Two burglars were arrested and convicted during the year, both having long penitentiary records. One of them was the same individual that entered the residence of Ayres Boal in 1917, being con- victed at that time and sent to Joliet to serve from one to ten years, and was on parole at the time he was again arrested here in February. I again wish to respectfully call your attention to the inadequate housing facilities provided for this Department, both for the men, for prisoners and for motor vehicles and other property. Much delay is caused in answering emergency calls, due to the fact that in the winter motor ve- hicles often must stand out of doors and are therefore difficult to start. This also partially explains the heavy cost of repairs for the past year. During the year, the traffic regula- tions of the Village were codified and printed in pamphlet form for distri- bution to motorists throughout the Village. At this time, the matter of co-operation in observing and helping to enforce traffic regulations was given considerable publicity in the local press. An attempt was also made to se- cure the co-operation of household- ers in decreasing the number of burg- laries by notifying the Department when homes were left unoccupied. The response to this appeal has been quite satisfactory and I believe has - 22222200000 We fill their cavities, take off the dead branches, trim them evenly, and spray them to take the insects off and keep them off. Prices for this service, when considered from the viewpoint of the worth of the trees, are very small. Spraying alone has a nominal charge of one dollar a tree. 0 THOMAS J.

I wish to thank the President, the Board of Trustees, the Village Man- ager, and other officials for the gen- erous assistance given to the De- partment of Police, which assistance has enabled us to accomplish the re- sults stated. Respectfully submitted, W. M. Peterson, Chief of Police.

Often they will grow well, for their full span of years, but when they begin to show signs of age, when there begins a general deterioration of branches and trunks, a tree surgeon should be called to save them. They CAN be saved, and made to grow as 1n their youth, if corrective measures are taken in time.
