Very Truly yours,           JUDSON HINER                Chief of Detective Bureau. Trenton, March 1st, 1906. (205)    206 BOARD OF POLICE COMMISSIONERS.            The value of property recovered by the Detective Bureau and returned to the owners during the year ending February 28th, 1906, was four thousand and two dollars and twenty-one cents ($4,002.21).            REPORT OF THE DETECTIVE BUREAU. 207      208 BOARD OF POLICE COMMISSIONERS.          Report of Surgeon of Police Trenton, N.J., April 4th, 1906. To the Honorable Board of Police Commissioners.      GENTLEMEN- I herewith submit my report for the year ending February 28th, 1906.      The table below shows the diseases, disabilities, and numbers of cases of each occurring on the force during that period: (209)    210 BOARD OF POLICE COMMISSIONERS          Two hundred twenty-seven (227) calls on the sick and disabled officers were made during the year and seventy-two calls to the respective precinct stations to attend prisoners.      Two (w) candidates were examine for the force. They were physically qualified and accepted.      Patrolman Henry Richter died July 14th of cancer of the bowel and Edward A. Coughlin August 6th of heart disease.      Two (2) females, aged respectively 11 and 15 years, were examined at the Central station to verify charges of carnal abuse.      Seven (7) insane persons, held at the station-houses for safe-keeping, were examined and committed to the New Jersey State Hospital.      The health of the department, in general, throughout the year has been good. Respectfully submitted,           W. B. VAN DUYN, M.D.,                Surgeon of Police    Report of Superintendent of Police Telegraph To the Honorable Board of Police Commissioners of the City of Trenton.      GENTLMEN- Herewith I respectfully submit my report on the Police Telegraph System for the fiscal year ending February 28th, 1906.      There is in operation on the system:      The underground system, including both the Police and Fire Telegraph, consists of 9.7 miles of No. 16 B. & S. gauge, copper conductor, paper and rubber insulated, lead encased cable, to which has been added during the year 1,200 feet of No. 14 B. & S. gauge, copper conductor, rubber insulated, lead encased cable.      Following is a list of the lengths and sizes: (211)    212 BOARD OF POLICE COMMISSIONERS            Making a total of 226.8 miles of single conductor No. 16 B. & S. gauge and 2,400 feet of single conductor No. 14 B. & S. gauge wire in the underground system.      Overhead lines, now connecting with the underground system, consist of 26.8 miles of No. 10 B. & S. gauge, copper conductor, weatherproof line wire, apportioned as follows: 5 telegraph circuits 12.7 miles. 5 telephone circuits 14.1 miles 26.8 miles      The two patrol box telegraph circuits and the two patrol box telephone circuits that are wholly underground make a totals of: 7 patrol-box telegraph circuits. 7 patrol-box telephone circuits.      Overhead signal light circuits to the extent of 4.1 miles were taken down during the year.      Eleven 45-foot poles, nine 49-foot poles and seven 35-foot poles were replaced with new ones and eight were re-set on account of street curbing and paving. The locations of            REPORT OF SUPT. POLICE TELEGRAPH. 213   overhead lines were changed from Fair street to Warren street and from city poles to telephone poles on Chestnut avenue, Olden avenue and Liberty street.       Fire alarm ticker bells were installed in the First and Second Precinct Stations to enable a more intelligent interpretation of alarms than was possible with sounders. Apparatus had been installed in the stable to enable reading of wagon calls directly from the patrol boxes, thereby saving the time previously required to communicate manually with the stable.       The course of the conduit system on South Broad street northerly and southerly from the manhole at Factory street was altered to allow for the laying of new water mains.       The following recommendations I desire to make to your Honorable Body regarding extensions to the underground cable system:       1st. An extension on Hamilton avenue from Clinton avenue to Anderson street.       2d. An extension on East State street from Monmouth street to Olden avenue, where conduits are now being laid.       3d. An extension in Cadwalader Place where the conduits and iron-post installation is complete, thereby enabling the clearing of that section of the city of overhead wires and poles.       Furthermore, that the circuits be extended and a sufficient number of patrol boxes be installed to cover the extensive territory within the city’s boundary that is not at present covered by the telegraph system.       In conclusion, I desire to express to your Honorable Body my appreciation of the many courtesies shown me during the past year and of the prompt attention given to matters pertaining to this department by Commissioner Hutchins. Respectfully submitted,           O. M. SCHAFER,                Superintendent Police Telegraph.    214 BOARD OF POLICE COMMISSIONERS.                  REPORT OF SUPT. POLICE TELEGRAPH. 215
