THE CURE FOR TRAMPS.

ORANGE COUNTY FOLLOWS THE EXAMPLE OF
SUSSEX AND PROVIDES WAREHOUSES; AND
HARD LABOR FOR vAGABoNDs-EIGHTEEN
THOUSAND OF THEM LODGED AND FED.
PoRr JERvIs Dec % 1875.
Acting on the success OF certain plans of dealing
with the tramp nuisance, which recently adopted
In Sussex county, n. j., and in towns of this
county, the Board of Supervisors OF this county at
their annual just ended have adopted similar
system, which it is believed will result next year in
different showing OF tramp statistics from those Of the
present year Up TO the 1st Of November past there
fed and lodged at tho public expense in this
county nearly Is, 900 ramps, costing $4,000. Thswas
AN ALARMING EXHIBIT,
and tho Supervisors set committee at work TO devise
some plan to deal with the question.
The plan adopted in Sussex county about six months
ago ths:-Thc county with tramps,
and all sorts Of crimes we're being daily committed by
them and the matter became serious that special
meeting OF the Frcchodcrs called and enclosure
was ordered added to tho Jail, in which were placed a
quantity of huge stones. An order was issued that
every tramp found pursuing his avocation should be
arrested and committed to this enclosure, od cheap
but wholesome iood and forced to break stones for
stated term. When released the tramp furnished
with
rIcKET-oF-LEAvE.
Armed with this he safe from arrest for twenty
four hours but II caught IN tho county alter that time
nc was rearrcstcu ana committed 10 prison again ar
longer term prison fare and at breaking stones II
is needless say that Sussex county has been entirely
rid OF tramps, the lookup having only occasional in
mate.
In the town of Minisink this county the tramps
nockcd TO the Poormaser in scores daily and found
good lodgings and nice. warm meals. This was bank
ruptng the town, and Mr. Harvey Clark, the present
Supervisor for the town, took the matter in charge.
A DIET
He hired a building in Unionyillc and converted IL
into lookup He put stove IN 1t aud some benches
There the ramps placed given pound ofcrackers
and all the water they wanted to drink In the morning
they released and the fare reduced the ap
plicants from twenty day 10 one two week. The
town Of Waikiki adopted similar plan, and has rid
herself OF the nuisance Now tho county OF Orange has
passed law requiring each town TO provide lookup,
wherein every tramp is TO be placed on commitment
from magistrate, and kept there not less than thirty
moro than sixty days prison fare and at hard
labor II is safe predict that within two months after
this system goes into operation the tramp problem in
Orange county will have been solved, anu the locality
will be marked OF the map OF tramp routes from one
end OF the county to the other.
