Street After Nine
O'Clock

The first complaint under the CITY

by Probation officer Leo w. Mardeu
and alleges that Urgo allowed MS son.
Miguel Urgo, 10 years old, to go Oh
the streets after the curteW Whlstle
had been sounded.
1t has been the custom in the past 10
arrest the lads found on the streets
after 9 o'clock at night and to SEND
them to the detention home. Because
of the number of arrests made recent
lv Chief Dishman determined to put a
stop to this practice by prosecuting
the parents or guardians of the often
ders under the city ordinance covering
the case.
Miguel Urgo was arrested on South
Main street Monday night by PATROL
man Amman and sent to the detentloh
home. Frank Urgo, Is years old, a
brother. was arrested May 10 for VIC
lating the curfew ordinance. AT that
time the father of the boys was
warned that if he permitted the lads
on the streets after 8 o'clock at night
he would be liable to arrest.
Yesterday morning the matter was
brought to the attention of PROBATION
officer Marden and he swore to COM
plant against Urgo.
