Gentlemen: We the under

the corporation beg Of your honor
able body not to allow Of the OPEN
ing of any more negro coffee
houses and gambling saloons in
our locality.
There are now two in operation
that are detrimental to the welfare
and responsibility Of our homes as
we'll as lessening the value of our
property. These places cause the
congregation Uf negro hO0dlums
also the very lowest type Of negro
women that assemble and become
intoxicated and use language unfit
for respectable ladies to hear
while passing. They also allow
negro hOOdlums to blockade the
sidewalks and make the thorough
fares impassable. Now that there
is another to be opened at the
Kramer stand we beg Of you not to
allow this if possible and
nro oct us in honor of Our
families.
Respectfully signed,
