Juvenile Cases. During the year of 1915 the police department had nine juvenile cases and about 20 boys were brought in- to court for petty crimes, but no fines were imposed. “However, the boys received reprimands and this had the desired effect. During the year 1915 the police in- vestigated the living conditions of about 30 of the city’s poor and saw that they were taken care of. During the year 1915 the police department received and answered between 700 and 800 letters and re- quests which were duly disposed of in the proper manner. This gentle- men, is no small matter as it con- sists of inquiries about crooks, lost friends, brothers, fathers, sisters, al- so as to conditions of the country, what kind of land, people, business houses. If this had not been prop- erly handled and each case given due consideration it would have had a bad impression on outside people. I beg to report that it has been given good attention. During the year 1915 the police department received and lodged 890 tranisents who came into the city broke.
