RESTRICTED AREA
IS DOOMED To Go
Exum and Weatherly Prac-
tically of Same Opinion
LANE is STILL SILENT
Question Now Is How Much Time
Shall Be Given the Inmates to
Close Their Places and Move
Elsewhere

All doubt that the city commission is
stricted district seems to have disap-
peared at the city hall. Commissioners
Weatherly and Exum practically agree
that the district shall be closed and while
Judge Lane has said nothing as to his
position it is now believed that when
the final vote comes the comission will
stand unanimous
A phase of the question under discus
sion now is in regard to the amount Of
time to be given the residents of the
community to close their houses and
move out. Some suggestions have been
made that they be given until the first
of the year, but an objection to this is
that the time given might be taken by
the community for a farewell celebration
and the police thereby be given much
trouble
Receive Many Communications
The commission has not yet held a con-
ference on the matter. but they are con-
stantly receiving communications from
various organizations and individuals and
also visits from delegations from differ
ent organizations on the proposition
Practically all of these communications
and delegations, it is stated. are in the
interest of abolishing the district.
A committee of real estate men held a
long conference with President Exum
yesterday and several private individuals
have called upon all three of the commits
| sinnprS Iudpo boS
communication from lady and another
from physician, both advocating the
abolishment of the community. Judge
Lane yesterday refused to make any
statement even as to his incinations on
the question, stating that he had always
made it rule never to announce a de-
cision before he had fully made up his
mind. He is spending all his spare time
studying the data and communication
that have been presented to him, how
ever. 1t is stated that the medical So
cety of the city may take the matter up
with Judge Lane, but as to what might
be the physicians position on the ques-
tion has not been intimated.
Weatherly's Position
Il can see no moral or legal right that
we can have to disregard the petition
and not enforce the law said City Com
missioner Weatherly 1T is common
knowledge that the place exists contrary
to explicit laws on the statute books
and further that a constant violation of
the liquor, gambling and other laws is
going on there. Aside from the moral
side of the question, this commission
cannot place its stamp of approval on
that phase of the question, even If it
desired to-
President Exum and Mr. Weatherly
take about the same position. Action on
the matter may be taken at the meeting
Friday. but 1t is generally believed it
will not be before next Tuesday or per-
haps even later.
