nicipal laws on the petitions protesting
against the contemplated moving of the
red light district to the west side of

mously adopted. The report of the COM
mittee states. in substance. that any such
district is clearly illegal The report states
that it would be unlawful for the coun-
Gil or any official to assist in any way
the establishment of any such district.
but also states that the council can take
no official cogniZance of the proposed
movement. The committee recommended
that the petitions received by the coun-
ell be filed according to the usual pro-
cedure.
After the report of the committee had
been adopted Councilmen Raybould and
Holley attempted to introduce resolutions
adverse to the movement to remove the
red light district to the west side, but
were ruled out of order by President A.
j. Davis. who stated that officially the
council had no cognizance of the fact
that any red light" district existed in
Salt Lake. President Davis overlooked the
fact that the city monthly collects the
sum of 80 from each of the denzens of
the so-called red light district which
fact Is evident on each report made by
the city treasurer.

ers.

BOARD OF EDUCATION
GOES ON RECORD AS
AGAINST ST0CKADE

The board of education went on record
last evening as being strongly opposed
to the establishment of the so-called red
light district on the west side. In the
final vote, the nine members present
voted for a resolution condemning the
scheme which has for its aim the estab-
lishment of the community of outcasts in
the place selected. In the committee of
the whole there was discussion which
consumed nearly two and one-half hours
time. In that discussion the only oppo-
sition offered to the passage of the reso-
luton was that presented by Mr.. Martin
When the vote was taken In committee
of the whole Mr.. Martin asked that his
name be passed. In full board meeting, on
final consideration. he Joined with the
eight others in voting for the resolution.
The resolution adopted is practically the
same as that which was presented to
the board at its meeting on Saturday aft
ernoon. At that time the resolution was
referred to a special committee of three.
That committee last night reported the
resolution in modified form. 1t was fin
ally adopted as IL appears at the head
of this article.
Mr.. Martins Defense.
Mr. Martin made a speech of an hours
duration. In which he declared that the
removal of the unfortunates to the pro-
posed site would be the better way out
of serious problem: that really there
would be little residence property injured !;
that the railroads would soon be so ex-
tended that the residences which now do
stand adjacent to the place would be
removed. and the rest of the space would
be occupied by warehouses Mr.. Martin
said that he had made a careful study
of conditions affecting the social evil
proposition. and it had been his expert
ence that the present state of affairs is
something frightful. He was opposed to
having the traffic scattered all over the
main part of the city. and in the way of
hundreds of school children and citizens
who must cross town.
All Take a Hand.
