The Recorder was instructed to advertise for bids for grading and graveling Washington Street and the construction of the sewer on Washington street, to be opened 'at, the council meeting on February 9th, 25 at 7:30 P. M. I Judge Hurd addressed the council rega~ding the juvenile situation. He said the county court was flooded with juvenile cases. Most of these boys were from the ages of 14 to 16 with an occasional one up to 17 years of age and he would like for some arrangement to be made to keep these boys off the streets after the curfew hour at 9:00 o'clock. It was the recommendation that the police order these boys off the streets a.1id 9:00 o'clock and send theJ,li home. For a second offense they should pick up the boys and place them in jail untiJ they could be turned over to the juvenile officer the next morning. He said it was impossible for: the juvenile officer to do policw work in the evening as he was working from ten to twelve hours a day looking after juvenile cases. JudgeHurd stated the t la st week he had four cases of robberies by these juvenilesoand-: ">r- there were four or five cases pending now. Councilma~ Bond asked the city attor- ney if the polic~ would have the right to arrest these boys and turn them over to the juvenile officer if they were picked up at night. Attorney Calkins said he believed they had the right to detain them until morning when they could be turned over to the juvenile officer. Councilman Pennington explained there was a special cell in the county jail and that these boys would not have to be put in with the regular prisoners. Councilman FaJrington said this was a serious matter and if these boys were allowed to continue in this course, they were heading for the penitentiary and he thought something should be done regarding the matter. It was the opinion of the council that action should be taken regarding this matter and the Chief of Police was instructed to see that these boys were sent home at the curfew hour and on a second offense they were to be picked up and turned over to the Juvenile Officer. The question of boys selling papers on the streets after nine o'clock and up to midnight or later was brought up. Council- man Pennington said that these news boys bought the papers from. the publishers and in that way they were independent contractors and do not come under the i.bor law. It seemed that. there was really a necessity for these boys to be on the streets at lEte hours and they should secure a permit from the Chief of Police 26 ~ to do this work. Mayor Large stated that charges had been filed by Mrs. Allert Bain against traffic officer, Otis~. Dyer. These charges had been referred to 'the Civil Service Commission but thetMayor f...elt the council should take some action' regarding the matter. ThelEHB was considerable discussion regarding this by different members of the council. Councilman Hawn stated he thought the charges should be ignored and nothing further done. This was also the opinoin of Council- man Farrington. Councilman Bond stated he thought the matter should be left in the hands of the Civil Service Commission. Councilman Stewart said he wou1d like to see the Civil Service Cownission take it under advisement. Councilman ,I () ~
