Fargo N. D., June 6.--Much interest
has been taken In the action Of property
owners in the first ward to secure per-
manent injunction against the houses In
the district along the river. The owners
secured the injunction and notice Of
appeal was filed. Another fight was made,
on the question Of permitting the houses
to remain open pending the decision OF
the supreme court but Judge Pollock
held that his injunction was permanent
and Immediate. and the houses will be
closed by the authorities
Some Of the business men object to the
places being closed. They are segregated
and in a locality where they cause as
little annoyance as possible. 1t Is feared
when the places are closed the women
will secure, rooms in the business blocks
and private residence districts and be of
much more annoyance than formerly,
where they were well controlled by the
police.
No defense is attempted by the business
men on moral grounds, the majority TAX
| ing the view that the social evil can best
be controlled by keeping the establish
ments confined to certain districts.
The business Of the Lockhart Realty
| company has been sold to the Northern
Trust company.
