suppressing these Chinese houses Of ill-fame7
We are forced to ask the above questions
owing to the fact that it is now three months
since you were notified of your duty to sup
press Chinese houses Of Ill fame, and your at
tention called to the law requiring the Mayor,
the Board of Supervisors and the Chief of Po-
lice to suppress Chinese houses of i'll fame.
Four days later in a letter to the secretary Of
this society you agreed TO send the notices re-
quired by law and asked for such information
as we possessed as to the location of the said
houses and the names of their owners and in
mates. Six days later you received from
the information You requested 1t was nearly
one month later when you caused these no
tees 10 be served, 10 wit, upon June 10. Since
that time over sixty days have elapsed and we
have heard nothing from you regarding this
matter.
What are we TO believe? Are we TO think
that you intend TO do nothing further7 II so,
kindly let know and we will take pleasure
in endeavorng TO do without the assistance OF
the public officials. what the law clearly makes
it their duty to do.
We regret sincerely your failure TO close
these houses. which suggests the thought that
you never intended to close them. Now II is
just a question for you TO decide whether you
will do anything or not; If you fail TO do we
will wonder why YOU ever wrote your letter
of May Y, 1899. Very respectfully,
