LADIES ASK FOR PROTECTION.
Add. G. Hinkson appeared before the
Board with a lengthy petition, signed by
large number of the ladies who reside on
6, II and l streets, east of Twentieth, ask
ing that new sidewalk be constructed on
the north side of II street, from Twentieth
to Twenty.third, along the brick wall which
incloses Agricultural Park The petition
sets forth that the ladies in that portion of
the city, now thickly dotted with hand
some residences, have to go to Twen-
tieth and H streets to reach the
street cars. There being no sidewalk on
the north side of the street, they are COM
PEELED to go on the south side, and in doing
so must pass four saloons that they assert
are frequented by the most bebased, foul
mouthed. demonstrating, offscouripgs of
the earth-men and boys who are en-
ployed in the race stables at the track, and
who have no more respect for the presence
of woman than they lave for the dumb
brutes they curry. AS result of this de-
cent women and girls nave 10 walk DOCKS
out of their ay, or take the middle of the
street, in order TO reach the street cars, and
avoid elbowing through profane and dis
graceful crowds that fill the sidewalks in
frort of gin mills" The ladies have a
right to protection, and their demand for
new sidewalk upon the opposite side of the
street is their right, and the Trustees say
they shall have it. The Board passed
an order to that effect and the State Board
of Agriculture will Immediately be asked
to construct the same.
Trustee Jones asked where were the police
that such things were tolerated. He was
informed that policeman was something
unknown in that part of the city, and if
the police undertook to protect the ladies
in thar quarter, an officer for that purpose
would have to be stationed there all the
time.
After allowing large number of bills the
Board adjourned.
