ROCK PILE.

Justice Chopper is a strong advocate OF
rock pile when persons arrested for an
infraction of the city ordinances could be
sent to work out their fines, when unabls
to pay them.
He said that large majority of petty
criminals are fined, but being unable to
make good the amount assessed against
them, are allowed to go scott free" as
their entertainment and Imprisonment al
the city armory was an expensive punish
ment to the city, and no direct good was
accomplished.
He maintained that stone pile, where
prisoners could work out their fines, would
accomplish great good, as it would be a
source of punishment to offenders against
the city ordinance, and would also tend to
prevent the arrival of certain class of
tramps that now infest the city
He thought it might be made self-sus-
tanning, and the rock broken up could al
ways be used by the city authorities in re-
pairing the streets in various parts of the
corporation.
He had always favored SUCH a plan, and
his business as Police Magistrate led him
to become stronger advocate every day.
