The custom of allowing representa-

ors from the courtroom to an adjoin-
ing chamber there TO pursue an inves-
tigatlon into their assets, grew out of
the unusual number OF cases coming

Then the custom arose of employing

stables to conduct cases In the mu-
nicipal court. With no judge to over
hear the examination. these men ap-
peared as representatives for the Pc

private chambers, and conducted their
examinations in the most approved
ways of browbeatlng and intimidation.

abatement of the nuisance OF dry
sweeping in the streets. has resulted
in earnest effort on the part of the
department Of public works TO find a
method of sweeping without raising a

ing to prevent the water used in
sprlnkling from freezing. The solu-
tion, however, proved ineffective and
the street was rendered slippery.
An experiment In spri1kling Will
be made by first pouring a prepared
solution of calcium chloride into the

dropping In chunks of the chemical

been suggested that a street sweeper
