One Of the greatest menaces there II
to the people Of Chicago, especially the
poorer classes-the working classes and
the smaller tradesmen-is the unre'

criminately from time to time In out
lying districts Of Chicago, practice
What has had disastrous results upon
the business and financial interests OF
the entire city.
The promoters Of this class Of insti

the downtown districts because they dc

business communities. to. the injury

small business men and traders.

way to put stop to 1t Is by wise aud
timely municipal legislation.

does not seem to be doing anything to
