Il is significant that they all agree on
the advantage OF plenty of work and
little worry in aiding length of life.
The advice lately given by woman

RIGID ENFORCEMENT or LAW
CITY Council Presents United Front

CITY Council Presents United Front
Against Violation Of Law
With all the aldermen and off,
GERS present yesterday afternoon, tho
city council went Into full discus.
sion OF the means for enforcing all
laws and keeping thom enforced.
Officers snider aud Parks stated that
tho need for at least one more city
officer was extremely urgent aud the
council practically authorized the
mayor to secure the services OF an
other reliable man.
There are three classes OF objec-
tionaho characters with which the.
city has especially to deal one Isl
the travelling boggar, another is the
yagabond loafer and the third and
most dangerous is tho class of para
sites who live by hook and crook
from tho earnings Of other people
This last class includes the gamblers,
dope men. small hold-up men and
even moro desperate criminals
For the first class, the mayor ad-.
ylsod arrest and jail sentence inI

county whenever he needs it. II is.
usually sufficient proof that the beg
gar is a fraud II he is making a.

gested getting a few sets OF balls and
chains and providing a stone pile for

All the officers testified that a
class OF loafers infested the Bowery
and depot districts that needed closer
watching and sevorer treatment The

formed an unsightly but not neces-
sarily dangerous class. As Alder
man Sh0ughnessey expressed IL.
They're harmless, drunk or sober"
and it's probably best that they stay !
away from the best part OF town.
For any of these however, who per-
slst in loafing, the council advised
a liberal sPntend to the stone pile,
The really criminal class presents
the most Seriou4 problem and for

council will put on another officer.
Alderman Shaughnessey called the
attention OF the council to the fact
that men had taken up their abode

cities had expelled. With another
