Senator ]. L. MCGOWAN and dele
CATION of citizens of East Minneapolis
called upon Mayor Haynes Friday
morning and requested him to clean
out the houses of i'll repute on north
east Main street, as we'll as those
south of Central avenue. They as
serted that it would be poor policy for
the administration to suppress por-
ton of the places and allow the
others to operate unmolested. 1t also
appears that there is some mistake as
to the intentions of NJ. w. Savage, the
owner of the Exposition property. He
has not agreed to deed the land front
ing the river to the city and the most
that he proposes to do is to improve
the tract for the benefit of the public
if the Objectionable places are closed.
Suggestions that the property be deed
ed to the city are not accepted by Mr..
Savage, who proposes to retain title
to the land. In the event the places
are closed and he improves his proper
ty, it is probable that he will put some
proposition in writing, but for the
present he will do nothing of the sort.
He believes that the places should be
closed regardless of the fact that he
may improve the property and will
wait for the city to act first.
If any resident Of the East Side or
of the city at large has nursed a no.
ton that the city of Minneapolis
would obtain park by purifying and
fumigating and deodorizing East
Main street it is all news to NJ. w.
Savage, the owner of the cid EXPOSE
ton building. Mr.. Savage declared
Tuesday that as yet he had made no
proposition to supply the city with a
new park, and as for deciding or other
wise conveying any portion of the EX-
position property to the city, such a
notion never entered his head. Mr..
Savage says that he intends to i'm
prove the Exposition property grounds
between the building and the river,
the improvements to take the form of
grading, terracing and sodding and
tree planting. He will do that as part
of the improvement which he has
planned to make the building a beauti-
full and conspicuous one to strangers
in the city at the Union depot.
But, says Mr.. Savage, if Mayor
Haynes or anyone else in authority
will remove the dives which are locat-
ed on East Main street, so that people
may walk or drive to the Exposition
grounds along the river without look
ing the other way or hanging their
heads in shame, the grounds will be
thrown open to the city as park
The deed for the property will remain
where it is now, in Mr.. Savage's safe.
