POLICE INDIFFERENCE

To the Editor Of the Evening Ledger:
Slr-I am reading your truthful facts on
the terrible drug curse which has so many
of your young people in its deadly clutches
and only hope your efforts will help to drive
the dealers who supply the stun from. the
city and place them behind the bars where
they belong.
/ also wish to call your attention to a
locality where the traffic is carried on
openly and In defiance to the police and the
public. who must endure the horrible sight
of seeing the poor wretches striving to
obtain the stuff which their bodies crave.
Vine and Franklin streets is tie trading
ground for the dealers and at all hours OF
the day and night they can be seen ham
ding the drugs. Many OF the alleyways are
being used by the dope fends for passing
the drugs and taking their injections. The
sight is appalling to the nelghbors, who are
helpless. as the police do not seem to inter-
fere or drive them away. 'Hold-ups" take
place every night, as the slaves must get
money to buy the stuff Kindly give this
place an investigation and perhaps you can
help drive them away. r. L. NJ.
