piled to the police officers for nights
lodging so far this year, has not been rs
large as last. BY consulting the annual
report CT City Marshal Drake, which was
made in March, 1895, 1t is ascertained that
for the year beginning March, 1894, and
ending March, 1895, there were 1895 per
sons who applied for a nights lodging.
OF this number SS5 were cared for at the
city proper and the remainder mt South
Gardiner. In December, 1895, there were
only 50 dodgers, while in the same month
of the preceding year there We're 1873. Sc
far this month, 47 men have been quartered
at police headquarters, which Is n wonder
full decrease from January, 1895, when
203 men We're given food and lodgings.
Marshal brakes next report, which will
appear in March, will show that great deal
less number of persons spent the night a,
the lookup than last year.
