 To Remove District Although steps were taken at last night s session of the city council to remove the red light district from its present location to some other part of the city, no action was taken. The matter was brought up by the city attorney in a report with an ap. pended resolution. In his report the city attorney stated that since the ruling of Judge Lewis. giving the city police jurisdiction in the prosecution of the women of that district, he had gained from the people Of this city the impression that the re- stricted district should be removed from its present location. ...
 The resolution was for the purpose nf declaring the district nuisance and providing for its abatement as soon as the residents of that section had : been allowed to move.
 The resolution did not attempt to relocate the district. When the resolution came to a vote it was laid on the table.
 Councilman Rose, who made the mo. ton which laid the resolution on the table, stated that he took this stand by reason of the fact that the fight for the removal of the district was the result of spite work. He would not be partner in any such transaction, he stated.
 Mr. Rose further stated that he had been informed that City Marshal Bob Anderson had received letter from Mss kittie Young, who started the az ltation, m which it was intimated that she would continue to fight for the re. moval of the district until the element in that district had purchased her prop erty.
 Marshal Anderson confirmed this statement.
 The matter was discussed at length, but owing to the feeling that there was a "hold upn feature in the move ment for the removal of the women of the half world from the present dis. trict, no action was taken.
 Broad Street Bridge
 The footbridge across Pinal creek on the east side of Broad street, which has been petitioned for so strenuously for the past several weeks, will be built at once.
 The city council came to this decision last night and as the result, estimates on the cost of this bridge will be SC. cured at once.
 The new bridge will be of steel, eight feet in width. It will probably cost about $500.
 The matter was brought up by J. Suter, Lee Middleton and w. w. Gun. ningham, who made strong pleas for bridge.
 The petitioners claimed that business on the east side of Broad street is ma terially hindered by the absence of such bridge and that it's construction would be of great benefit to the gen eral public as well as to the individ- ual business men.
 After some discussion the bridge was ordered constructed as soon as the proper contract can be made.
 When the bridge is completed new sidewalks will be constructed in the vicinity, on the grade of the new bridge, as an additional improvement
