Police last year, also dealt
with three cases of arson, 15.
fire law violations, and 16
accidental fires. Their other
activities included checking
out 11 abandoned cars (not
stolen); 78 animal bites, 15
civil disputes, and delivery »of
24 emergency messages.
They investigated 38 missing persons, not counting runaways; 24 cases of lost or
found property; 47 suspicious
cars or persons; and seven
suicides; and they made 124
liquor inspections. a-j
And ii that doesn't sound
like a year's work, there's
still all matters concerning
traffic, all kinds of accidents,
assistance to other departments, character checks
(they did 52), serving notices, civil defense work, and
dealing with juveniles.
