To the Honorable Board of Police Commissioners of the City of Trenton, N.J.

     Gentlemen-I beg leave to submit to you my annual report for the year ending February 28th, 1909:

     The report, as usual, contains the number of crimes and offences committeed [sic], the occupations of those arrested, and the dispositions of the same, together with their ages, etc.
