Big Fines and Convictions Rise in City
Last month the city fined violators and saw 74 men work on the streets or pay fines, up from 49 in June of the previous year. The total collected was 2022.65 dollars, with larger sums appealed to higher courts. Officials blame population growth and a larger, more efficient police force for more convictions. Overcrowding at the city workhouse led Warden Wakeley to board inmates with the county jail under Warden Weatherly.
