Breaking rocks on a bread and water diet
August 17, 2016
Today, the former mayor may be found breaking rocks on a
bread and water diet. Wed. Aug. 17, 2016
According to an article, “The Tramp Problem in Cities” in
Vol. 4, No. 3 edition of “City Government - Municipal Journal and Public
Works,”
The article begins by explaining, “An inquiry from Hon.
Peter J. Carolus, judge of the police court of St. Joseph, Mo., to the League
of American Municipalities, in regard to the tramp problem, has brought forth
he following information and suggestions:
[…]
Mayor Robert J. Saltsman, Erie, Pa. reports “Every city
ought to have a work-house or stone pile for tramps or vagrants; we have
mothing of the sort, but work our tramps in summer cleaning the streets. If we
could get our county commissioners to join us we would build a work-house at
once.”
F. G. Pierce, the mayor of Marshalltown, Ia. says, “We
consider the tramp a good thing… We give any person who applies to any of the
police officers one night’s lodging in the station house, and if the tramp is
found in the city the next night he is run and given five days on bread and
water.
“In the summer time we work the tramps on a small city park
under way to completion. We find, however, that there is only one way to deal
with this question, and it is a very good solution to the question, and that is
the bread and water diet. Just as long as cities give tramps a good lodging and
good meals they will be troubled, and just as soon as they begin to give them
bread the bread and water diet they will give that city a wide berth. I assure
you.”
