Show MILE COURT I FORCE!) TO MOVE it Will Temporarily Occupy Oflice of the Board of Hj! Education. Hi MAY EVENTUALLY GET QUARTERS UP TOWN K; 1' Commission Fails to Meet and Select New Offices jj Thursday. R did not moot and select new quarters N for tho iuvenile court of this county j Thursday, but the court moved iust the -' same. 'Die citv can no longer do with- K out tho two rooms on tho second floor $ of tho city end of the joint buildiii.'. Hr. which the court has occupied over since its existence, and the court, which has ' been given soveral notices and mouths of time, to vacate, is forced out. Hfj The state juvenile court commission H; The court is moving into the board ' of education room on the third tloor. ft! leading into Superintendent D. 11. ; Christensen's private ofiico, but will re- i main thero only temporarily. ISventu- V ally, if the juvenile court commission - ever gets together and decides upon Hj. new quarters for it, the court will move hi into permanent ofliccs uptown. The H" commission was due to got together !; Thursday, but failed to do so. No H' meeting nas been arranged as yet. r' The court has lead a checkered ca- W? reer fr tnC last seven or eight months. K. Its troubles began with the end of the p legislature, and its usefulness has been ') of little consequence sinco ihcu. First H' it, was without a clerk. Somebody H slipped a joker into the bill revising Hm the juvenile court system throughout - the state and tho county commissioners, animated by personal animosity to T. L. Irvine, appointed clerk by County 1 Clerk Margaret Zane. Witcher, discov- ered the joker, which related to the L clerk's salary. The bill did not pro- !-. vide for the pa3ment. of the clerk by J tlie commissioners, although such was !' the intent, and the commissioners saw V' a way to get rid of Irvine by refusing K- to pay his salary, and they promptly L brought the way "in to uso to the dctri- H ment of the court's usefulness. H: Porccd to Movo. Then it has been known for five or !' six months that the city would have to r' have the quarters occupied b the court and that the court would have to vn- '( cate, but against this no new quarters 1 have been secured, consequently the ' court's quarters from one day to an- ' other promise to becomo a changing qnantity. 1 These things have not helped tho :! court anj but on the contrary hnvc !:; rendered its work for the last five or : six months practically useless. With the opening of school next Tues- K day, Guardello Brown, superintendent ' of the Uintah Training school, is go- P ing to start a sort of an innovation. The eighteen inmates of the school will Hj' be released upon their honor and start- hJ oh to school. They will be required to K report back to Mr. Brown at rcgu- L' lar intervals, but otherwise they will T' enjoy absolute liberty. Should any of them break the conditions of their re- flr lease the- will be picked up and re- turned to the school. K; The innovation will put the train- K' ing school out of commission, at least j temporarily. The Poplar Grove congre- Kl gat ion of the Mormon church has pur- : chased and is occupying the property, and as the county commissioners have ? paid no attention to the law ,com- pelling" them to establish detention homes for both boys and girls, the K superintendent is without a place to ;'- put the boys. The sending of the R youths to school will obviate this difii- T, culty to some extent, it is fondly flj hoped. |
