and Representative John A. Fitzgib-
bon explained the plan for connect
ing with the Pennsylvania system.

New System Evolved
For Paying Police

Final arrangements are being
made by Clarence o. Backenstoss,
secretary to Mayor Keister and pay
master of the police department, for
the putting into effect of a new meth
cd of paying members of the police
force.
Instead OF issuing checks as for
merly, one warrant is made out, pre-
sented to the city treasurer to be
paid and the money then distributed
among the officers. Paymaster
Backenstoss announced this morning
that the first payment under the new
system would be made on Monday
when the officers may receive their
money between 730 and a. M;
and p. m. and $50 and $50
p. m.
The new method eliminates con-
siderable unnecessary work. Pre-
viously $50 warrants had to be made
out, signed three times and caused
a great amount of work to the De-
partment of Finance clerk, to the
City Treasurer and inconvenienced
the officers considerably.

John d. Doris.
president of the board of managers
OF the Huntingdon reformatory.
The opinion says that the "pri-
mary purpose of the institution Is
reformatory, not punitive. since it
seeks to reform rather than to pun
ish," and that "the sentences of per-
sons convicted of crime and sent to
! 1T are for an indeterminate period"
The reformatory has it's own parole
system, which was not referred To by
the act of 1911.
The decision refers to an opinion
by John c. Bell, when Attorney Ger
eral, that the act extended to the in-
stitution, but laso cdlts attention q to
! the opinion of the Allegheny county
court on the subject, in which the
court held that it was without power
to grant a plrole.
