Transients kept officers busy. On Eighth Avenue East, a man moved on after a homeowner was alarmed to find him looking into the back yard. Another transient took more than gentle persuasion to leave a bank that was closed. A man who loitered and made comments that discomfited a clerk was also encouraged to move on.
