INEBRIATES' FARM
SITE IS SELECTED

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 2s-with
the selection Of a site near Griffith
Park for the city municipal farm by
Chief OF Police c %. Sebastian ano
Public Service Commissioner Charles
Wellborn, the final step in providing
an open-air home for inebriates has
been taken For some months Chief
Sebastian has been looking over
available property in different sec
l1ions of the city for the farm, which
he hopes will make a number of men
better in every way.
The farm will be used exclusively
for men who are unable TO contro,
their appetite for liquor. Fresh air,
plenty of sunlight, hard work and ex-
ercise. the chief believes, will be the
means OF placing many men back on
their feet so they viii be able to
again become good and useful citi-
zens
A number OF one-story dwellings
viii be erected at once, which will be
used as sleeping quarters. The honor
system will be inaugurated; the po-
lice officers and trained nurses. who
will be constantly on duty, win sup
crvise and care for the men rather
than keep them from running away.
Petty offenders will not be allowed
al the farm, only men arrested for
intoxication will be sent there. Chief
Sebastian has received assurances
from the City Council that sufficient
money will be appropriated to keep
up the expenses of the farm The
farm viii probably be ready by the
first part OF next year.
