No date whs set for hearing the matter, and It is not known wheihe this ends the matter, which ha no the approval of many of the leading citizens. Although lie had the power, under the regulations governing the department of public safety, to issue an order putting the one-wny matter Into effect, without bringing It up In a Tes NeGkwear make. Judge Jones added that It is his belief that an arrested defendant should be allowed to go free on bond, Just received a fine assortment of wie case uevciopeu mat a rrlend appeared at headquarters with the re- quest that the defendant be turned I loose after the prisoner had offered to furnish cash bond of $1,000.

Commissioner Fltxpatrlck takes the opposite view and Insists that the police, In declining to allow men charged with drunkenness to give bond, are following Instructions from his office; Instructions which, he declares, will not be changed.

Financial standing, social position, and friendship for any member of the administration are matters that no policeman has a right to consider when a man crosses his beat under the Influence of intoxicants or who, in his opinion, is under the Influence of Intoxicants. When the policeman gets to headquarters with his charge he is under positive Instructions to put the man In Jail until he gets sober.

Under no conditions is Jie permitted to turn the defendant out in less than three and a half hours. And If he feels that the prisoner should stay In Jail longer than that length of time, It Is the officer's duty to keep him there until he feels that the prisoner should be released.

Hep-resentative Hurley will be recalled In Ashevllle as a member of the delegation sent out by the house of representatives of the state a few years ago to Inspect roads in Western North Carolina under construction by prisoners. Retiring from the army wltli the rar.k cf lieutenant, Mr.

Hurlov was en route to his home at Troy, in Montgomery county. He called on a number of Ashevllle friends while here He was in the army two years and three months, saw duty In half Recalling the days when a man and his wife were burned to death on the third floor of the building now occupied by H. Redwood and company on Patton avenue, the cty commssoners yesterday refused the request of H. Batterham, agent for the building to allow the fire escape In the rear of the building to be removed. Mr.

Batterham told the commissioners that thieves had the habit of climbing up the fire escape and entering the Redwood store and the store of M. V. Moore and company. It Is dark Just to the rear of these buildings, that Is ths street lights, at the corner of College and Broadway and College and Lexington avenue, do not throw sufficient light to make these fire escapes as plain to the view as should be, It was pointed out. ably be completed by fall.

The structure will probably be of brick. As It will be built specially for the purpose of being a home for the children It will be much more convenient for them. The sale of the land has only been decided on and the commissioners have not decided how they will go about selling It. It Is probable thst bids will be advertised for or "for sale" posters put up. It Is thought that the county will get a good sum from the sale of the property as the land Is said to be valuable.

What good would it do for us to arrest a man for drunkenness, take him to headquarters and turn him right out on bond? The fact that he can furnish bail is no evidence of his sobriety. And an Inebriate, out on bail, is in Just as much danger of being run down by a vehicle or causing trouble of other types as an Inebriate who has never been arrested.

"There has been some criticism of the department since the trrut nm. When the Haywood building was erected by the late Paul Roebllng a Jury was put on the street which ordered the building to be put on a line to comply with a new line, to be established when the street is widened. This was done, the Jury assessed benefits and damages, the matter was brought before the old board and the street ordered widened, but here the matter rests. The Jury fixed the damages to be paid by the city at about $15,000 and the benefits to be collected from property owners about $12,000. When the street Is widened a part of the.
