To have the red light district re
moved from it's present location was
the purpose of a petition which was
presented to the city council last
evening and the subject was discussed
at length by the mayor and council
men present. The petition was signed
by C. S. Wheeler and other property
owners in the vicinity of the tender
loin, and it was rendered the council
by Judge S. A. Lowell, attorney for
the petitioners.
After reading the petition to the
council Judge Lowell spoke at some
length upon the subject, severely
criticising the present state of affairs.
He called attention to the fact that
the presence of the bawdy houses on
Cottonwood street lessened the value
of the adjoining property and were
also an eyesore in the heart of the
city, In answer to one objection to
removal he said:
at has been said that the bawdy
| house district was there before the
other property owners invested, and
consequently the latter have no.
grounds for asking a removal. But
if that argument held good the white
people would have had no right to
lands used by the Indians. 1t is
we'll known fact everywhere that law
lessness must give way to order, and
that virtue has the right over vice"
During his remarks Judge Lowell
also called attention to the fact that
under the laws of Oregon parties own
ing bawdy house property are equally
liable with the inmates and he read
from the code the paragraph which
prescribes the penalty for allowing a
building to be used for immoral pur-
poses.
"Also." he continued, "it is unnec-
essary for me to say to the mayor and
legal members of the council that
there is another remedy at law. That
of an injunction. However, l will say
that the petitioners do not wish to
create any trouble, but instead wish
the matter taken up by the council
and acted upon as may seem proper"
Following Judge Lowells remarks
the subject was freely discussed by
the mayor and councilmen. Likewise
by DR.. Vincent, eX-mayor who was
present. The general sentiment was
that the conditions at present are de-
plorable, but that the remedy is diff
ficult. No suggestions regarding an
other location had been made by the
petitioners. Councilman Hinkle ex-
pressed his belief that all bawdy
houses should be located upstairs in
brick buildings, so that they would
not be so obnoxious to sightseers with
in the city, and would be seen less
frequently by school children and
other young people.
81 will appoint the entire council
and the city attorney as a committee
to investigate the matter" finally de-
clared Mayor Fee, after several indi-
vidual cOuncilmen had shown disin-
to serve upon an ordinary
Thus the matter was left.
AT the request of DIR. F. w. Vim
cent, manager for the Northwestern
Gas & Electric company, 60 days
extension of time was granted that
for the establishment OF
their gas plant here. Under the fran
chise given the company the plant
was to have been in operation by No.
G. and the date has now been
set for January 6.
