Tt is being developed by the Cassidy
Realty CO., who plan to make it the
most desirable suburban addition in
this section.
The lots are large, the streets are
wide and the environment beautiful.
One feature which adds to its attrac-
tiveness is the fact that the proposed
crosstown highway connecting the
North and East ends of the city, runs
through the property. The recon-
mendation OF the City Plan Commits
sion is for a seventy foot thoroug hfare
and the property has been laid out
in line with that suggestion.
AS the property has city water, cleo
trio light, gas and other conveniences,
in addition to its natural attractive
ness. an excellent sale of the lots is
anticipated by the developers.

wv JOURNAL LttbED Witul
st. Louis, Feb. 2S.---A report on
the vice conditions in st. Louis, made
today by the legislative committee Of
the evangelical alliance says that po-
licemen, have stated that il is
useless to make arrests for violating
the laws prohibiting gambling and
vice. and that patrolmen who make
such arrests are "humilated."
Here is a summary of the report:
"In cafes liquor is sold to women.
and children under age and disorder
~ houses usually are in the neigh
borhood
Cafes adjoin saloons and do big
ger business than the saloons. De-
generate dances are permitted in the
cafes.
I'm dance halls. dances are con-
Quoted until almost dawn, Sundays
and no introductions are required.
Many saloons are open on Sunday
and have secret side entrances. Some
saloons do more business on Sunday
than on week days.
Gambling is allowed in saloons,
clubs and rooming houses.
"At cabarets semi-nude women
give suggestive Dances
The report also says that patrol
men say arrests are useless as the
offenders are released by the courts.
