Very truly yours
Charles Ij. Chute, Secretary. Tho Inspection referred to was made try Kdward M. Toole, a.ssi.stant secre¬ tary and It Hiiys In p.art:
"At the time, of this vLsIt .Mr. Ham¬ mill had under hi** super-isi'on ,14 m»'n from the Suprt-me and County Courts. 28 hoys and 1 j?lrl, 19 rr.vn and 1 woman from the Justices' court, mak¬ ing a total of %'.i eases. Money eollec- tlnns for tho previous month amounti'l to $IG4.
Intensive Invesligatkma Made "Preliminary InvestlKations were made In almost etery ease, ihc oHli.er stutltiK thai over 90 in-r cent of bis cases are InvestiKated. I'^mployers. complalnnnt.s, parents and other per¬ sons who have knowledjce of the offenses are int»T-vlewpd, The offli-er nlso interviews persons who have nny direct knowlfdge of the offender's pre¬ vloun conduct. Vfi-bal reimrts of ther'.' InvPBti^tions are mad« lo the Judgn und a. complete written report of the findiiiKS la filed in the case folder, lii flom«? Cases a written report on the Investigations has been made tH the judge. The judge di.scusses various pluises of the ca.se with the offlcer and asks his recommendatloUH.
"Ilomf visits are made on an aver.itfe of onee a month. Some eases are visit¬ ed more freniiently if thf ofllcer depiris It necpBSiiry. This deiwnds on the of¬ fense and the progress of tho prohii tloner, A complete" record of all visits ia kept on the case history blank.
"All probationers report either to the office or home of the jirobatloner offl- <'er. Mr. Hammill considers th.at it is better to have somf |)rohationers report to his home to avoid undue publicity. Some pi-obationers report weekly, others once In two wp*>ks and others onee a month, depending on the serl- ou.snes» of the offense and the progn.R.s made. A few cases do not report In person but send In written reports one*' a week or Iwis fretiuently ua tho officer deems necesaary. Theso reports are usually endorsed by parents, teachers or clergymeiv There is no assembling of prolxitloners. A complete reryird of all reports is kept on tlie ca.se history blank.
The offlcer al.so keeps Informed re¬ garding tho conduct of his probationers by talking to neighbors, principals of Rchools, teachers, clergjTnen and others from whom he can secure accurutc In¬ formation.
Aids In floenring Employment In cases where It Is needed thp of¬ flcer tries to secure work for his pro- bationers. The offlcer has a cbmplete directory of employers and his relations with them nre exeelltrnt. It Is difflcult to find positions at present as the Industries In his vicinity aro not very active.
Mental ond physical examinations aJ'P mado when It .appears to Mr, Ham¬ mill tliat the probationer nped.<i such examinations. He avails himself of the services of tho jail doctor who makes the physical examinations and Pr. Otockel, assistant ut the- Kings Park Ifospltal who maken the mental ex¬ aminations. The doctor's recommen¬ dations are followed as far as possible. The offlcer endeavors to secure proper treatment for his cases and mokes a every effort to improve their environ ment.
No cases were returned during the year for reprimand but four were returned for commitment and of thla number three were committed. Arrests are mado on a warrant aerved by the constable or duply sheriff.
Probationers from the County Court ar* diacharged by the Juibire in open court. Tn casea^ from th» Justloee' courts Mr.' Hammill lllscha'rces the proluitloners. Reports are made to the jiiiTges and other offlctals only upon rp«iupst.
Mammlll Rystem Best in Rtaie All of the Commission forms are used and thero are no deflclenctea In the case records. The folder astern Is used, Mr. Hammlll's records nre p#- pectally flne nnd are ns complete as nny I have ever seen.
The probation offlce la located on the second floor of the Court House. There is a desk, filing cabinet, index <*binet, telephone, chalra, typewriter and other necesaary offlco equipment, Mr. Horn- mill has a clerk-stenographer to assist In hla offlce work.
Mr. Hammill bi also aaaUted hi canes of girls and women by a wwnan volunteer offlcer who cooperatm fully with him nn<t does very satisfactory vfork. The offlcer also cooperates with the Nasaau County Association, the

The flghl of the trolley company ha.s bei-n a long one and against o<lds. They w<re ft)rcp<t by a francbi.se to give .'icr- vi<-e, and their cars were in u.se all day and night ,and ull Iho year around.
Tin- buses wire in the nature nf "outlaws" in their methods of working. If they liad been si|uare and had run in betwppji the trolleys on the schedule the matter prnhahly never would have coin<' lo a head as it did, resulting in Ihe hus<-s being placed on the .same l.lAaiP us the trolleys, and being forced to gel a franchise and furnish a lionrt.
The tactics of the bus drivers turned imblic sentiment against them, because everyone like.s to .see at lea.st a .square deal. Now that th<4 tVolley company has won a victory, the puWIic will be looking to them for belter service, and wliilt they liave not made any firomises, it i." b.-lieved that they will make changes for the better as .soon as they are able.
The bus situation in this vicinity ip not the only one that ha.s been the can.vp of trouble and litigation. .V head¬ line in the .\'. Y. Tribune of .^pril 1'8 reads: . "Muses Must Pay Taxes or iniit," referring to the eight lines in o(ieralion in the city.
Another headline in the Brooklyn PZaglo reads: "Crepe Draped Bu.ses .Sadly. Depart For Parts ITnknown," re ff-rring to the return nf trolley cars in a fxirt of Brooklyn.
It w.as suggested that the bu.ses and the trolleys both stay, und that their .schedules conform, so tluit the bu.ses would not bp running Just ahead of the car and taking up fiass.nger.s who were waiting for the cars.
The matter has come before tbe Vil¬ lage Board in Freeport on various oc¬ casions, iniring the last admini.str.Qtion it was held over, and no action taken, and the present administration has not done anything di-ilnite as yet.
The matter will r>robably come up at the meeting to be h. Id on May 1:1 fot flnal dispo.sition.
The amount the trolley company has cLaimed to have lo.st on account of the bu.ses must have gone into the pockets of the bus owners, und if .so, they will well be able to take their pl.aces with Ihe trolley and .a.s.sume the obligations of common curriers.
At the pi-p.sent time the buses are not responsible in ca.se of accidents, tear up the roads that they -pay no tax iifion, and in their actual working operations they ,sti-ay from the path nf falrnejis and .s<(uareness.
