assisted by the district attorney, who
has taken over the prosecution under
this law from the city attorney dur
ing this investigation.
while the authorities state they
were slowly endeavoring to drive the
prostitution out of the city, and in
that are supported by The fact that
these women we're driven out of many
districts and off many streets west of
Alameda. the fact remains that in the
territory bounded above, they were
not only never molested, but four
brick buildings were erected in 1907,
their architecture denominatjng them
ut once as intended for houses of
prostitution, and practically all other
houses in this territory were faced on
Commercial street with entrances
only through private walls to the
back. thus removing many of the OBJ
jectionable features OF this business
from sight by any casual passer-by.
However, this crowding OF these
unfortunate women into small dis

lous landlords to charge exorbitant
rates and in some instances so desir-
able were certain locations that the
women offered bonuses to landlords
for certain rooms, which, needless to
Say, were greedily accepted by prop
erty owners, who gladly lined their
pockets with these sin-staincd dol
lars. The acquisition of this large
amount OF money from exorbitant rem
tails In the hands of men OF such per-
verted moral sense, acquired as it was
by violation Of the law. was a con-
stant menace to official integrity.
"While we are satisfied from the
evidence that none of it was used to
secure freedom from prosecution and
that the conditions were permitted
because of the belief of the officials
that this was the best way to handle
this matter, we believe that tempta-
tion should be removed by the rigid
enforcement of section 315 of the
penal code.
Among the hundred or more
charges referred to above there were
many in regard to other matters. all
of which were carefully investigated,
and being found without sufficient
foundation, do not demand a place in
this report.
Perhaps the nearest to a founda-

Oil company was organized by the
mayor and his friends over two years

we find that there were undoubtedly
strong efforts made to sell this stock
among saloonkeepers, and those who
were in measure dependent upon
the favorable consideration of the ad-
ministration."
