Mi Booth 1 COOPER BUILDING. Hayi read the ordinance.

Mi'. Levi Cooper was the first speaker and he said he had no objections to the ordinance, but appeared in protection of his home and asked that the lines be throw back to Common street. When he constructed' his home he had no Idea the district would be legalized. Mr. Elstner said he appeared for properly owners in the Strand and for humanity sake only for unfortunate residents of that territory.

He asked whether the ordinance excluded the Strand when effective. He was Informed it did eliminate the Strand and would he effective July 1. 1903. Mr. Elstner said the ordinance was unconstitutional and was confiscating property without due process of law.

Leases had been Judicially determined as property and the city sought to take this property without due process of law. The speakt-i recognized this ordinance was for the conservance of morals. Mr. T. B.

Chase said he personally was not interested in the location. The im-moial class were growing so bold that he was forced to appeal for protection and Did the council to handle the subject with neive and determination and give relief to respectable people. Mr. Leon R. Smith appeared for Mr.
