The collections from various licenses and permits totaled $2,388.15 while the fines as- sessed and collected from prisoners jamounted to $2,660.50. | During the months there were 227 arrests resulting in 174 convictions on city charges. Many of the re- mainder of the cases were also eon- victions but are not taken into con- sideration in the police report be- cause the offenders were either hld on county ¢hargs or held for some other state authorities. Of the 174 convicted 149 paid fines totaling $2,660, while 24 of -the offenders have done work on streets that at the present prices of labor would have cost the city fully $600. The majority of the cases consid- ered by the police had druhkenness as.the cause of their plight. The three heaviest charges were ‘drunk and disturbance, 75; disorderly con- duct, 69; and for investigation, 43. In summarizing his report Chief McGrath includes the following para- graph: “I would again respectfully ask ‘you to take some steps toward se- curing for this department some sys- tem to call and signal boxes for nse when we move to the new city hall, which is located so far from the busi- ness district, in which most of the trouble arises, it will be very mcon- venient and will tend toward poor service and inefficiency unless sup- plied with modern and 4dp-to-date methods of handling calls and ar- ieee —o—_+_— Save your money—eat at the Har. vey. | 4-4-6 | —- | PROCLAMATION FOR SPECIAL ELECTION Notice is hereby given under and |by virtue of a proclamation issued by Robert D.
