These are two of the outstanding facts of the report of Chief of Police Grasett, submitted to the City Council this afternoon.

In 1912 there were 11,210 offences reported to the police. In 1911 the total was 10,101.

The committals to jail and other places of confinement were 1,945 in 1912, as compared with 1,685 the year before.

“MORE PROSECUTIONS UNDER ALL CHARGES,” Brantford Expositor. March 25, 1930. Page 7. --- Crime Shows Increase for Fiscal Year in Ontario ---- TORONTO, March 25 - Report of General Victor Williams, commissioner of provincial police, just made public, reveals that during the fiscal year ended October 31 last, there were 13,188 prosecutions under all charges, an increase of 1883 over prosecutions for the previous year.

Prosecutions under the Criminal Code numbered 6693, an increase of 1842. There were 20 murders, compared with 14 in 1928; 28 cases of manslaughter, compared to 18; 83 suicides, against 58; 248 automobile fatalities, against 162, and 191 drownings, compared to 144. Deaths from other causes numbered 188, a decrease of 55.

Dealing with the liquor situation. General Williams' report states that an improvement has been noted, but that there is still a quantity of United States alcohol coming into the province. Majority of seizures, the report adds, are of this product.

There have been 6495 prosecutions by members of the force for violations of the O.L.C.A. Of this number, convictions were registered in 5523 cases; 675 prosecutions were dismissed and 297 were withdrawn. A total in fines of $258.076 was collected. Confiscations included 19,662 gallons of beer, 2785 gallons of spirits, 790 gallons of wine, 25 automobiles and six motor trucks.

“Crime Declines in Ontario,” Kingston Whig-Standard. February 23, 1933. Page 4. --- Statistics of crime in Ontario lately issued reveal an encouraging decline in the number of offenses against the law. The decrease in the last year is particularly striking but there has been also a substantial fall from earlier years. The decrease in cases of reckless driving is note-worthy, while there has been also a falling-off in offenses under the Liquor Control Act .

A few of the figures illustrate the trend. In 1927, there were 23,715 infractions of the law, while last year there were only 14,510. This is a large drop. Last year convictions for speeding numbered 20,654 as compared with 27,666 in 1931. Cases of reckless driving also declined from 7,571 in 1931 to 4,693 last year, while charges of Intoxication fell from 689 to 584. These latter figures may not in each instance prove definite progress, for conditions must be taken into account but still they carry a hopeful message.

There is, however, fairly convincing testimony to a more law-abiding tendency in the figures of persons sentenced. In 1930 there were 21,421 throughout the entire province. Next year, the figure was 18,121. Last year, the total was 15,804. There was thus a decline of 5,617 sentences in two years.
