AGITATION TO REMOVE
The RED LIGHT
DISTRICT is
DROPPED

The threatened removal of the red
light district did not materialize.
Rev Mark White of the Methodist
church, dropped the matter tempor-
arily when he learned that an offer
had been made to the tenants of the
district to lease them ground on the
public highway, in case they were
removed from the present location.
Inasmuch as the minister had been
assured that no land would be sold
or rented for that purpose by the
property owners in the western sec
tion of the city, he was quite wrathy
when he found that in case the pres
ent location was changed. the new
location would be as bad if not worse
from moral standpoint Conse-
quently he dropped the matter pend
ing thorough investigation Of the
entire affair.
Rev Whites sentiments were to
the effect that when it had been de.
termined that the moving of the red
light district would not materially
benefit the moral conditions but that
one of the town officials and others
proposed to derive a financial benefit
from the change, he decided to let
the matter rest. The law still stands
and any one interested can cause
that it be enforced.
