said such action would be taken were IL not
for the fact there was some question as TO
its legality. After the Nicholson bill went
into effect the trouble was considerably re-
duced. but the last two or three months il
has been as bad, IL not worse, than during
the last two months of the Sullivan regime.

Mayor Denny was elected we frequently saw
drunken men and women stretched out on
