now remains but little natural pine tim
Der growing upon lands within the city

sary and expedient that these lands
should be acquired without delay
And it further appearing that such
lands cannot be purchased or acquired
from the present owner or owners with

ABOUT THE cURFEW ORDINANCE.

Although it appears that many
children do not know it, Bemidji has
a curfew ordinance.
1t reads fine. Its provisions are
stringent. For one thing it provides
that beginning October / all children
must be off the streets at 8 p. m. =
AS regularly as the sun goes down
at night, the bell in the City Hall
peals out it's warning at 8 p. m.
. But the bell doesn't clear the
streets. It might as we'll be the old
liberty. bell, apparently, so far as the
children are concerned, for the boys
and girls continue to play about the
streets until they get ready to quit.
The conditions here were bad
enough to attract the attention of
the recent grand jury and to cause
that body to dip from county into
municipal affairs by calling upon the
council to pass a curfew ordinance.
The grand jury didn't know that
there already was an ordinance but
it did know that children were scat
tered in different parts of the town
until Lotto If, Tho
During the past week small boys
and girls have scampered about the
streets not only after the 8 o'clock
bell but even 9, 10 and up to II p. m.
The police can't be expected to
patrol the town with it's limited force
to clear the children, but this much
could be done; few could be gath
cred in and handled in such way as
to give the careless parents who per-
nit these things to understand that
curfew ordinance is passed for the
safety of the boys and girls and that
it is not to be ignored.
