The head keeper is the executive officer of the entire force. 



During the year one range keeper and four post keepers have 

 resigned. One warden has been discharged to reduce the number 

 of that grade of officers — two wardens being the present number. 

 One range keeper and four post keepers have been discharged for 

 breach of discipline. 



Instead of suspension for definite periods for cases of breach of 

 discipline not demanding discharge, fines of loss of pay, for one or 

 more days, have proved more efficacious. Five such fines have 

 been imposed in the grade of post keepers. Two post keepers 

 have been promoted to range keepers.

ACCIDENTS. 



The following have been recorded at the keepers' station : To 

 persons and carriages on the drives, 76. Five cases of serious in- 

 jury to persons ; one resulting in death. On the work, seven acci- 

 dents — one fatal. 



Four cases of sun-stroke occurred — none fatal. One woman 

 found dead on Washington Park. The body of a new-born infant 

 found in the lake on Prospect Park. In both cases, the bodies 

 were turned over to the coroner. Three lost children were re- 

 stored to their homes. During the year 40 persons have been 

 cared for and sheltered for the night at the station. 



This includes instances of necessary detention for protection of 

 themselves from harm, and the public from annoyance, of intoxi- 

 cated persons, in cases not resulting in serious disorderly conduct. 

 There are also occasional applications for shelter at the station, by 

 destitute persons in inclement weather.
