INTERESTING REPORT IS
FOUND IN OLD PAPERS
CITY MARSHAL MILLER's REPORT
SHOWS PcLIcE CONDITIONS
IN CITY IN 1sss-so.

An old report of the city marshal.
bearing date of TWENTY-FIVE years ago
and found among some discarded
papers when the old building formerly
used as the city hall was torn down.
is Of interest, showing as il does the
difference in the morality Of the city
a quarter OF a century ago as com
Jared with the city of today.
William J. Miller was the city mar
sahl who signed the report which is
sor the period beginning May /. 1893.
when he apparently went into office.
and ending march 81. 1890. In it he
gives the arrests month by month of
men and women in disorderly houses
showing that the total fines from the
former amounted TO s240 and from
the latter $i75. Marshal Miller re
ported 1os arrests and the serving
of 3st meals to city prisoners.
That was the record of the city
police force In 1sse-9o.
When one compares it with the
report Of the City marshal of recent
years when an arrest a month IS M.
usual and no disorderly houses. as
such are in Canon City at the pres
ent time, the change in the conditions
is one that should appeal to every
resident in town and is a decided ar.
gument in support of the change in
the policy Of running city along
decent lines.
