Mayor Adams was seen last night re-
garding the proceedings of the council
Yesterday. He said concerning the
ldisposition of the block, he would have
preferred to keep the business of pros
titution in as centralized and small
location as possible, but since the
council took a different view there
was nothing to be done but make an
effort to drive it out of the city limits,
leaving the county to contend with IT.
He was very well pleased with the ac-
ton the council had taken in the mat
ter of street sprinkling. The resolu-
ton agreed upon allows the eXpend1-
ture of 1925 for horses and harness,
but he thinks that not more than SOU
will be required. In fact, he has al
ready bought one team for $50, and
one set of harness for $50, altogether
S45 less than the resolution allowed.
The cost of sprinkling will not be
more than $50 a month under this ar
rangement, so a saving CT 1850 year
will be effected. At seasons OF the
year when sprinkling is not required
the horses will be employed in level
ing the streets and putting them in or
der The plan of sprinkling includes
only the business and central portions
Of the city. But those living in the
outer districts may have sprinkling
