ceeds in carrying out her intentions.
Mrs. Rowe after conference with
Chief Of Police Healey and number
Of social workers has decided to en-.
force the "curfew ordinance" passed
by the council In 1912. The lowest
ages at which street vendors may
work between the hours named above
are 16 years for boys and IS years for
girls. Enforcement of the ordinance
will be looked after by social workers
in various parts Of the city, who will
assist the police by reporting infringe.
ments.
The problem Of dealing with the Of.
tenders has not yet been fully worked
out. Several systems may be tried be.
fore satisfactory method can be
found.
The following order signed by Chief
Of Police Healey. was sent out to all
commanding oficers:
Send at once to this once list OF
all the cases tried In the Boys. Court
where the prisoner was discharged,
and in which instances the boy had q
previous record, Of which record the
court was informed.
"Give In your reposS the nsfurs Of
the last complaint against such pris-
oner and q brief summary Of the evi.
dence given"
II wrote the order as the result Of o
complaint made by Captain John J.
Ryan," Chief Healey said. HE told
me about q boy who had been arrested
several times for burglary and larceny
and who had been turned out by the
Boys Court. am told there are lots
Of similar cases.
1.-THE men say that boys from II to
81 years are not punished 10 they
should be. and am taking this means
to learn why. It's bad thing when
young criminals are not punished. It
works for the detriment Of the police
force, because It discourages the men.
I want to have a talk with Judge
Dolan and with Chief Justice Olson In
this matter"
