That shops are open, kept by notorious violators
o. law, that have not been reported to the City

Is willing to be considered so stupid that he can
not find out in "a hours the proprietor of any
place OF unlawful sale, and these matters must be
corrected.
Those officers who have done their whole duty
will not feel aggrieved with these charges which
have brought to your notice. While those who are
conscious have not flor reasons that are obvious
informed you of all the facts, will take these mat
tiers into serious consideration. and | wish to i'm
press upon each of you that while DESTROYS ;of

OF any ofncer not doing his whole duty or doing il
in such shiftless manner as to make any law In.
operative. And should such a state of affairs con
tlnue, as nave stated appears to exist, the Off
GERS on these beats will be dealt with to the full
extent OF my authority. 1t is needless for me to
inform you that you win be protected to the fullest
extent OF our authority, by the City Marshal and
myself, In the execution OF your duties.
