CONVICTIONS EXCEPT ONE
There Were Nine Cases Of Breach Of
the Peace Number is Considerably
Larger Than Last Year.

Since the licensed saloons went into OPP
Grafton in this city, or from May lst to
June ist, there have been Sc arrests BY
the police department Of the city and the
Deputies Of the town on charges Of Intoxi-
cation and breach Of the peace OF these
cases which have been before Judge Fay
in City court there have been convictions
in all with a single exception.
There we're II arrests for Intoxicatlon
and three Of the parties arrested were con-
victed Of a second offence. Nine Of the to-
tai number Of cases we're for breach Of the
peace.
Compared with the number Of arrests
in the other cities Of the state the number
is small. Burlington had so arrests for
intoxication in the same length Of time.
Rutland had 66 for the same otfense. Mont
peliers record is also considerably larger
than that of Barre.
The comparative figures Of this years
arrests and last year's shows that for the
month Of May in 1902 there were nine
cases in city court, one for the offence Of
breach of the peace and the others for in
t0xication
The increase In the number OF arrests
for this year win mean to some, a proof Of
the non-desirability Of the new license law
which was recently enacted BY the YER
mont legislature while 90 others the in
crease proves rather that the law against
intoxieation is being more rlgidly enforced
in this city than it was last year. The
latter state IN substantiati0n of their be-
lief that strict orders were given the po-
lice department by the mayor to arrest all
those who are found intoxicated. and that
those orders are being carried out.
