made for drunkenness on the ground, and the only arrests made were for breaking into 

 the grounds unlawfully. 



Your committee realizes the fact that a great amount of trouble was saved the Police 

 Department by the strict adherence to the rule made by the Executive Committee that 

 they would not lease any booth for purposes of selling any kind of spirits, and if any 

 licjuors were kept on sale on the grounds, it was not in a jjlace so rented by the Busi- 

 ness Committee or their agent. The grounds were cleared at 6 o'clock, or soon 

 after, at which time the night police were stationed, and general good order prevailed, 

 as far as your committee can report. 



Your committee take pleasure in saying the Mayor and Common Council of the City 

 of Kalamazoo aided them promptly whenever called upon to do so. 



The expense shown in this department may seem large, but when it is understood 

 that it embraces all the men that were employed to watch the fences and do all extra 

 work, in the buildings and out of them, it will show why so many men were employed. 

 Your committee would say further that the services rendered by Mi\ Chas. Jennings 

 was most valuable, and was highly appreciated by the Superintendent. 



Respectfully submitted, 



W. H COBB. 

 Superintendent.
