GOOD PROGRESS MADE
IN CLEANING ALLEYS
Commissioner of Streets Robert R.
Reynolds says the alleys in wards from
one to seven have been cleaned under
his direction and that within the next
1 days the remaining alleyways of
the city will be cleared of rubbish.
As soon as this is completed work
will be begun on the streets. Many
of these are in bad condition after the
winter and several of the pavements
have accumulations of dirt which will
necessitate added labor in putting them
ia good share.

LONGSTANDING
FEUD IS ENDED
Gustafson Holds Police Court
in City H9.ll for First Time
in Many Months.
COMPLIED WITH ORDINANCE
Newly Adopted Measure Provides
Office for Magistrate New
Quarters Too Small.
.The long standing feud between the
Molme police department and the
police magistrate, came to an endv.es
terday. at least for the time . being,
when Frank Gustafson. recently elect
ed police magistrate for the third time.
occupied his new office in the city's
new municipal building, and held court
there. .
The old city ordinance regarding
police court, stipulated that the police
magistrate should provide and fit out
an office at his own expense and hold
court there, and Mr. Gustafson has
carried out the rules of this ordinance
ever since he was first elected to the
office of magistrate. On the other hanll
the pclice departn? V' absolutely re
fuse dto take their prisoners to Mr.
Guetafson's offices for trial and held a
court of their own with Justice Fred
Entrikin as the presiding officer.
New Ordinance Framed.
Owing to this dissension bstween
the department and the magistrate,
the city commission recently decided
to adopt a new ordinance and provide
an office at city expense in. the city
hail. This was done zr.T ttr. Gustaf
ern occupied the new quarters for the
first time yesterday.
Magistrate Gustafson, however, - Is
far from satisfied with his new quart
ers. He iys that the room is entire
ly too tmai! for police court proposes
end in addition 1b cooped up between
the room of the desk sargeant and the
bull pens.
"To begin with," said Mr. Gustafson,
''it is a mistake to have the police
magistrate's office 'stuck under . the
nose of the police department, for in
most cases where this Is done a sort
of a working agreement springs up
between the two. consciously or un
consciously, which works great harm
all around. The first thing one knows
the magistrate is a mere instrument
in the hands of the police."
Favors Second Flcor.
Mrs. Gustafson said that he would
run the office in compliance with the
city ordinance and start court every
morning at 9 o'clock, but that he
would not remain there throughout the
day. If any one has any business tq
transact with him after court has ad
juorned they will have to find him at
bis private office.
The magistrate believes that the
new office should'have been provided
in one of the second floor rooms in
stead of conjunction with the police
station. Another evil ia that people
who desire to see him on business do
not like to go past the desk sargeant's
room and be' the object of gaping vis
itors or pass the cells and bull pens.
For that reascn he believes that mis
take has been made in locating the
office.
