It was brought out in the consid-i cration of the curfew ordinance to! provide for the blowing of the ! whistle of the north side pumpinff station at 'J o'clock nightly as a i curfew for all children under the j

It was pointed out that the arresting of a few offenders and the prosecution of a few cases would necessarily be an injustice and that the ordinance could not he enforced with any regularity without additional patrolmen. Ahout a year apo a similar ordinance that hod been in the legislation of the city for many years wa revoked as it had not been enforced for a Ionic time. Any new ordinance that uiiuht ho placed on the hooks would be destined, on account of the inability of the police department, to the same fate. The proposed ordinance w us tabled indefinitely.
