OFFICIALS TO DISCUSS
WORK HOUSE PROBLEM
Problem of Handling UnempIoy-
ed and Reducing City Court
Offenders Discussed Tues
day-BaII, Chain and Stone
Pile One Solution.

ball and chain with huge stone
pile for tramps and regular offenders
Of the police court was informally dis
cussed at the city hall building Tues
day morning after the session of the
court The discussion was brought
up by the case Of Bruno Yer Vinckt,
who was charged with public intoxica-
ton. Bruno was just released from
Jail about two weeks ago and again
arrested on his old charge Monday
night on the north side Of the river.
He has served many jail terms and
has been under arrest and escaped
penalty several times. He was fined
S25 and costs, amounting TO $50, and
given a Jail sentence Of so days. The
fine and sentence was suspended on
promise of good behavior.
In discussing a work test for tramps
and police court offenders City Judge
Ralph Fieg said that he was under
the impression that there was a state
statute allowing city work houses in
which TO place the offenders instead
OF alloNin them to enjoy what little
pleasure they get from the county
jails.
II was suggested that in some way
that garbage dumps and street clean
ing department could be used by the
officials as a work house and compel
prisoners and tramps to work out
their sentences or lodging.
1t is thought that in many ways this
would reduce the number of Offenders
appearing in the city police court. If
ball and chain would be used and
the men placed on the streets for 10
days or more. they would probably
be so Inundated that they would be
more careful of the laws in the future

Stone Pile Established.
John A. Herzog established stone
pile it is claimed, as a solution to the
problem of reducing the number OF
offenders appearing in court each
week Shortly after the introduction
of the stone pile the applications Tor
positions fell off and it was hardly
thought feasible at that time to use
the pile. IL was then decided TO use
the old Bull Pen" at the rear of the
city hall building and one morning
several tramps were put to work there
for the purpose of cleaning 1t out as
a part payment for their lodging
Nothing further was ever done.
City Could Save Money.
1t was pointed out by one business
man when asked in regard to the
question that the city officials could
save money in using the tramps and
hoboes who apply for lodging at the
. station, to put in few hours each
day in payment Of their lodging. Con-
siderable work could have been done
in this way during the past month IN
cleaning off the streets or snow ana
mud in the down town districts by the
hoboes who have used the station.
Chief Of Police Krieter stated that
over ITO men have been lodged at the
station during this month.
