STREET SWEEPING URGED

West Hoboken Recorder Sees
Spotless ToUn, Less Crime.

Caesar Walters, police recorder OF
West Hoboken whose novel methods of
administering justice and melting out
punishment to minor offenders have at
tracted considerable attention, favors
city ordinance that would give him still
wider powers in sentencing convicted
men to unusual tasks.
In cases of minor offenders" said the
recorder yesterday, instead of fining
them or sending them to jail, I'd like
to sentence some TO sweeping the streets.
! would set convicted man TO street
cleaning. outside his regular hours of
employment for five, ten, twenty or
thirty days. depending upon how serious

The Recorder said the usual methods
of punshment--jail sentences and fines
had ceased to make an impression on
minor offenders and that unusual forms
OF punishment were much more likely to
