number Of saloons. theasers ana piaces OF
pubic resort and amusement which are
frequented by minors and lewd women,
and where women and girls solicit. for
salary. commission or otherwise. the sale
of intoxicating liquors, all Of which - In
my opinion. contrary to Law. public senti-
msnt and the good order Of the city.
II am also Informed that certain per
sons, duly licensed to sell Intoxicating
liquors, persistentiy attempt to conduct or
allow to be conducted in their saloons or
in rooms connected Herewith or under
their control gambling games and devices,
contrary to the ordinances and the peace
AID good order of the city.
Believing that these houses arc inimical
to the peace, morality and prosperity OF
the city, and that the revenue derived
therefrom to be more than Offset by the
extra police surveillance they entail. /

Of Intoxicating liquors, or whore lewd
- n
frequent. shall b granted license, and
that licenses Of al such places now in
effect BE- revoked and all such places b de-
ciared public nuisances, their proprieeors
and managers being laid subject to heavy
penalties for the further continuance OF
the same.
"Second-That the licenses Of all saloons
wherein women and girls are allowed to
solicit. for salary, commission or other
wise. the sale of Intoxicating liquors. or
where lewd women and minors are allowed
