jutant General Frank u. Beary. who

The increase in Juvenile crime in
the city and county during the year

there were % children brought into
court; in March, 40, and in June, 16.

A surprising feature in the theft
cases, officials said, is that the youths
are making big hauls in most in-
stances, instead of petty thefts. In

Final; Willing to Take
Advice

Members of City Council and City

IT. Lynch to secure an architect TO
make plans for the work and au-
thorizing advertisement for bids was
introduced in Council this morning
by MIR. Lynch and passed first read
ing. The building of the station has

against building 1t in Market Square.
Immediately after 1t had been read
Com mmissioner Lynch explained to the
other members that in naming the
location for the comfort station he
did not intend to have the commits
sioners think lie believed it to be
the best place, but that it was a
suggestion so that. the ordinance
could be presented. Other council
men took the same position and said
that if another place is found which
will be q more suitable site, they will
consider. it.
Commissioner Lynch also explain
ed that there is increasing need for
the comfort station because of the
shorter hours of the large stores and
the lack of such facilities for the
public except during certain hours
of the day Other officials expressed
their approval of the move to con-
struct the station,
Council Commissioner c. c. Cumb-
ler, when he learned of the action
taken by City Council, said the coun-
ty officials will be willing to meet
the councilmen and cooperate with
them. County Solicitor Philip S.
Meyer will be requested to attend
the joint conference when the ques-
ton of whether the county property
adjoining the courthouse can be used
for the comfort station, will be de-
cided.
A fund of 20,000'w authorized
few years ago for the erection OF
this improvement but definite action
has been delayed frequently. The
city. commissioners after the ordi-
nance passed first reading to-day,
said they had no preference in a
site for the comfort station, but
that question could not be settled
unless a certain one was named,
Then If objections were raised and
better one can be obtained, a
change will be made.

ed DR.. Hassler about the present
