y CITY Lock UP SUGGESTED. The question Of
how to dispose OF the large number of tramps sent
to Jail for alleged intoNication was discussed by
the city council Monday evening, but nothing
definite arrived at. 1t was suggested that city
lock up be established where tramps could be KEEP,
over night and passed on out Of town in the morn
ing. The Jail is the place where these tramps want
to pass the winter. A few years ago the city gave
them meals at hotel, but this did not satisfy
them, as they asked to be carried to Jail. There
ought TO be something devised to break up this
costly nuisance.
