Court, Division No. 8:
I'VE. tho Grand Jury for the February

DRAMsHoPs PRINCIPAL
SOURCES OF CRIME.
''Our Investigations disclosed the fact
that the principal sources of crime In the
city are the dramshops and the houses Of
prostitution. The former had our first
consideration, and in the course Of our
Investigation 1t developed that law vio-

Of the whole. and as the tendency was
toward worse conditions. the stamping
out or mitigation Of these evils seemed
Immediately imperative. A free and full
discussion made 1t clear that our only
means to the end desired was the invoca-
ton of the Sunday-closing law and, IL
possible. to close tho saloons on Saturday
night at IL o'clock.
I've realized the leniency with which
petit Jurors looked upon infractors Of the
Sunday-closins law. and even when pun
ishments were obtainable they were light
ly regarded. therefore ineffectual in pre-
venting repetition Of the violation. We
knew. however. the power of saloon
license revocation. so We sought a con-
ference with the Board Of Police Com
missioners and the Excise Commissioner
and to them made known our desires. We
were met in a manly and practical way
and the outcome OF the interview was the /!

1T has come to the notice Of this Grand
jury that there Is no fixed system Of ac-
counting In the various departments OF
the city government, each incoming off,
cial keeping the accounts under his con-
troll as he thinks best. thereby entailing
confusion and possibly loss to the city.
Therefore. We recommend that the City
Council take this matter up and appoint
commission OF expert accountants to Sc
lect a plan for municipal accounting that
must be followed by all the different de-
partments of the city.
I'VE also respectfully suggest that said
commission consider the Federal system
OF accounting, the plan advocated by the
National Municipal League. the plan on
which COMPTROLLER Smith of Baltimore
modelled his last report, and the system
worked out for Stating the annual report
of the Comptroller of New York. by John
X. Sarrow, &. =. A. Supervising Account
ant and Chief of the Bureau of Municipal
Accounts and Statistics of the Department
of Finance.
I'm this connection we desire to depre-
cate the fact that tho heads of some Of
our city institutions, though responsible
for their successful management, have
practically no voice In the selection of
their assistants and minor help. In
business sense this is paradoxicai and un-
sound-pernicious offspring OF machine
