or prOh1D1tOry law was serious burden 10 the
city in the way of court expenses is deliberate
Misrepresentation. The city, as such, had
expense from the enforcement of the prohibitory
law The costs of the proceedings were in every
case charged against the owners of the prop
erty involved and were paid by the brewers who
were backing the saloons
The startling story concerning "four hundred
storerooms" is interesting and loses none of it's
interest upon investigation. In city of the
size of Kansas City there will always be GER
tain number of places vacant Some of these.
owing to undesirable location, bad repair or
disrepute, may be long vacant. as in any other
city. In Kansas City there is considerable
number of buildings which cheaply con-
structed, in bad locations, for joint purposes.
When the joints were closed, these buildings
naturally found new tenants only with difficulty.
This difficulty was increased by the fact that the
brewers who owned the buildings had long
term leases upon them were unwilling to make
the necessary repairs and alterations and in
many cases refused to lease, believing that after
a few months the storm would blow over and they
would be able to open them again as joints
The actual condition at the present time is
that, according to a count made by the post
office carriers of Kansas City, on March there
III vacant storerooms in the city. In the
business center of the city there 7Uas NOT
0acant stoYeroom of any kind.
Many of the places that were formerly joints
now paying their owners higher rent for
legitimate business purposes than they paid
for joints. count of the twenty-one places,
formerly joints, in the three blocks, 400, 500 and
600, on Minnesota avenue shows sixteen of them
paying the rent in legitimate business which
they formerly paid as joints, four of them pay
ing higher rent, the increase ranging from SIS to
$35 per month, and only paying lower
rent, $32 so instead of $35
Among the documents sent out by the liquor
dealers is big circular bearing the title Cam
Can't Lie" with photographs of buildings
purporting to show zone hundred and eight of
the more than four hundred vacant storerooms
in Kansas City, Kansas" The camera has been
so truthful that it shows that some of the build
ings occupied, although the circular alleges
that they are unoccupied, and in other cases it
shows that they are not the buildings which the
circular asserts them to be. A careful canvass
of the buildings shows that fifty-one of the one
hundred and eight buildings of which pictures are
presented and which are all asserted to be va
can't are actually occupied at the present mo,
ment and have been occupied for weeks and
months past Some of the remaining buildings
have been rented and soon to be occupied
and some of them merely temporarily va.
