Draakeanesa la Good Second and Vag rancy Third, but Both These Are Shows te Be oa Decline. v Drunkenness, violation of the traf fic ordinance and vagrancy are the of fenses occurring most often in the summary of the cases tried in the Mu nicipal Court during the fiscal year be ginning December 1. 1816, and ending November 30. 117. The report for the year waa compiled by Deputy City At torney Deich, and was completed yes terday. Traffic violations for the year num bered 1821. Arrests for drunkenness occurred to the number of 1374. Vag rancy is listed 7o times, disorderly conduct 651, visiting gambling houses 420, gambling 302, conducting gambling game SC. assault and battery 213. and violations of the late antt-plcketing ordinance 173, all of which occurred In October, 1917. Other offenses, embrac ing A wide field and In no case total ing a considerable number, for one of fense, brought the total for the year to C99S. The high mark for one month, for drunkenness was 219, for December, 19K. The low mark for the same of fense was 69. for June, 1917. The high mark for traffic violations was 293, for July, 1917, and the low mark 65. for December. 191. This comparison shows that drunkenness is becoming less com mon. although arrests for traffic vio lations are increasing with the lid tightening. The little parody. "If Tou Can't Get a Job In the Summer Time, You Can't Get a Job In the Fall," does not seem to apply. In the balmy days of August 121 vagraoxs were asrested, but with the cool October breezes blowing only 23 found their way to second and Oak. In the month of December a total of 1742 cases came up in the Municipal Court. ' Of these 1046 were traffic vio lations. 13S vagrants, 149 varied of fenses for gambling, visiting gambling games, or conducting games or oper ating punchboarda, 141 drunks, CO dis orderly conduct, and &3 lottery cases. Minor offenses incidental to keeping the peace, keeping streets clean, keep ing hours, respecting pure food ordi nances and the like made up the month's total of 1742.
