FOUNDERS SEEKING
 WINTER QUARTERS

Two rounders appearing in the city court. Tuesday morning. were sent 70 jail for ten and fifteen days respect ively on charges of intoNieation. It might seem that this lenient sentence would be appreciated. It ia just the opposite. A. this time of year ab- breviated sentences are mcted out for greater punishment
 In the fall the rounder seeks warm birth for the winter months. There are many of these dereliets who prefer the great highway in the daytima and bed under the stars at night during the summer months. At the first signs of approaching cold they made their annual appearance in the lower courts seeking incarcer- ation until spring. The longer the term, if it doesn't carry into the summer, the better they like 1t. Judges of the courts are not misled. They know what the sons of rests desire and that is why they impose short terms.

This makes it practically i'm possible to find a site west of Main street without going a considerable distance north from the business sec ton. Much of the property along Main street north of the Congrega. tiona church has been found Co be prohibitive because of the value of the land.
 The investigators have let no possi- hility pass. however, and plots on Main street including the Chas.
