very unsanitary condition and is not
ct TO put 4 human being in for any
length Of time" Facilities for the
recorders our are seen by the chief
to be entirely inadequate. The week
" sessions on Monday and Friday
nights usually pack the present
courtroom far in excess OF its capa-
city and many times the crowd is so
dense that It is difficult to work h
principals IN the up to the
front Of the room where the judge
may see them.
in view of these hampering as
well as unhealthful conditions CHIEF
Tonnesen recommended action on
the part Of the Board OF Aldermen
toward the beginning Of the long
needed station.
Maintaining that the personnel of
the police force is below the strength
which makes for the greatest eff
cheney. a recommendation was also
made that twenty new policemen pc
annoiuted to the force. According
To chief Tonnesen the present num-
her of officers are not able to cover
he city properly and the addiuonal
men are needed Immediately II the
ciry is to be given the police pro-
lection to which it is entitled.
During July. August and Septem-
her. the months covered by the re-
mort. 69S arrests were a by the
Uniformed and detective forces. u
this number it is interesting to note
that only four Of those taken into
custody were illiteratss. In addition
TO Americans those arrested came
from these countries: Hungary fus-
sia Italy. Norway, Roumania, Po-
land. Denmark, Greece, Ireland. Sla-
vonia. Germany, Austria, Switzer-
land, Albania, China, Ukrania. Mex
leo. Armenia. Serbia, Syria. France,
Snain. making a total of twenty-five
races. 80
Another item is stolen material 10
the value Of s1S.542 recovered by
the detective force during the three
months, and tw~enty-seven robberles
cleared up out of a total of forty
seven reported for investigation.

Commonwealth Managers
 Views on City Pumping

Just at this time when we are all greatly interested in the local water supply and trying to cooperate in it's proper solution it is not out of place to mention the cooperation of the light company, which through it's local man. ager, MT Miller, has been able to render much assistance. With the city motors all burned out the light con- pany loaned the city the use of mot or, which has been in operation for some weeks. A great deal of the Wa
 ter that we are now getting is by cans of the air compressor belonging to the company The light company had to have water to operate, and for sev- cral weeks have had to use their own labor in keeping the pumps repaired, in the meantime, having to buy ice tC furnish it's customers since there was not sufficient water for the pur- pose of keeping the ice plant going. The light and ice company now have their own well, but cannot use it un- til the city has had time to restore it's own pumps to a workable condition and release the facilities loaned it by the commonwealth. We mention these things in ustice the the part the con- monwealth has done and is doing.
 The work of rebuilding the water plant is now in the hands of J. R. Bowles, who is working out the prob lem as rapidly as possible. The facts are that the plant, so far as the city is concerned, is in complete rundown condition. One pump is now working when not obstructed by sand in ad
 dition to the air compressor. MT. Mil Ter has had twenty years experience with air compresors, and believes that this is the logical solution of the pum- ping problem. With this there is nothing underground to get out of re- pair. With the finest of sand to con- tend with, he believes that the old pumps, even when made new, will wear out at rate that will keep the repair bills at prohibitive figure.
