Perhaps I ought to say when we come to deal with the various departments of the city government that are only indirectly connected with crime, we find it more difficult to arrive at correct conclusions. Take for example the sheriff’s office. This official’s work is both civil and criminal. He has charge of the county jail and pays for the support of the inmates. He takes full charge of indicted prisoners for felonies, and after they are sentenced sees that they are safely landed in State prison or penitentiary. But he also deals with many civil processes besides. After making careful allowance, we set aside three-fourths of the sheriff’s entire appropriation for crime. In the first statement below it will be seen that all the moneys appropriated to the various departments and institutions are spent on the correction and repression of crime alone. Here are the official figures: Department of Police of Greater New $15,195,331 00 York Department of Correction 1,274,957 00 District Attorney, New York 371,860 00 District Attorney, Kings 106,000 00 District Attorney, Queens 35,500 00 District Attorney, Richmond 12,900 00 City Magistrates, 1st Division 355,800 00 City Magistrates, 2nd Division 328,000 00 Special Sessions and Children’s 134,420 00 Court, 1st Division Special Sessions and Children’s 94,800 00 Court, 2nd Division General Sessions, New York 291,500 00 Juvenile Asylum 55,005 00 New York Catholic Protectory 326,500 00 Brooklyn Catholic Protectory 17,500 00 Jewish Protectory 50,000 00 Brooklyn Court Rents, etc. 40,000 00 Miscellaneous Criminal Expenses 75,000 00 ─────── $18,765,073 00 In the second table the various departments of the city government that are indirectly connected with the repression of crime are mentioned and only a certain percentage allowed for criminal matters. Sheriffs of Greater New York, 75 $236,301 50 per cent. Department of Health, 10 per cent. 248,485 00 for Crime Department of Charities, 25 per 275,696 21 cent. for Crime Fire Department, calls for an 4,019,782 75 appropriation of $8,039,565.50. I find after careful inquiry that half of the fires in this city are caused either by wilful or criminal carelessness. Fifty per cent. of that appropriation is spent on crime
