City Treasurer

| rance Committee, VINO, after eK-
| amining and finding same correct
| ordered that the Treasurer be
credited with $t440.67 and vouchers
for that amount be cancelled.
The following communication was
read and ordered filed:
Gentlemen of the Board of Alder
men.
Numerous complaints have
| come to me and the Police i'll ref
| erence to certain places on Lai-
dry street being operated as negro
restaurants. Having made a person.
| al investigation OF several of them
and judging from their surround
| ings | have arrived at the eoncIu-
| sion that the license taken out by
| them to conduct a restaurant is Ill
most cases q s~ubterfuge and is done
to conceal the real business con-
Quoted by them. In almost every
instance a bed room is fitted up
which the proprietor or propFIe-
tress claims to be their sleeping
room. / do not believe this to be
true. These places give the Police
a great amount of trouble. The
Police are doing everything posi-
Bile to compel these people to live
within the law.
I would recommend that this
matter be thoroughly investigated
and # you gentlemen find condi-.
lions existing as | am convinced
they are, that these places be de-
clared a nuisance and their II
eenses revoked.
Respectfully submitted,
