Referred to the committee of the whole, By McGucken: That the marshal again notify the property owners on Tenth street who have not complied with his instructions to put their side- walks in repair within ten days, By Leeder—That the mayor discon- tinue the services of city detective, Considerable discussion ensued. Corby moved to place on file. O'Keefo favored the resolution. He intimated there was a great deal of rottenness, Behm opposed the resolution, Leeder thought the §75 per month for a de- tective was doing no good, Dunham #aid he had introduced a resolution a year ago for the employment of a de- {addressed the council, | feetly satisfied to {mouths ago the council | lution authoriz tective, and he argued that the sor ces of a detective wcere a neceesity. O'Keefe said a person could go to places and pay 15 cents for a drink of whisky from parties who had no license. The gamblers, prostitutes and pimps stuck out their tongues at | us (the council). It was high time to bring matters to a focus and find out | where the rottenness is Mayor Boyd, by permission, now Ho was por- | dispenss with the About two | refused to | allow a certain detective to work any Inger, There has been no regular detective since. Reference had been made to & certain man being employed, bat that man had not been employed. Eyery dollar expended for detective work {s agcounted for, and he (the speaker) could mako a statement showing its expenditure, and will do 80, He was not equandering money nor taking it for his own use. The council could do as they please, but they could not insult him. As to the houses of prostitution, gambiing houses, ete., the gentleman (referring to O'Keefe), who had been investigat- ing for himself, had been reported to him as not having been in a condition to imvéstigate anything. Tho law saya that no house of prostitution or gambling houso shall be allowed in Omaha, but the city council recog- nizes them by fining them and allow- ing them to go. He had endeavored to keep these places within bounds. They ara evils that will necessarily ex- 18t and cannot be stamped out. 1f stamped out ifi one quarter they will open up in another. This city is as quiet and orderly as to gambling and prostitution and sa- loons as any city in tha country. He did not believe liquor was being sold without license. All this fuss is en- tirely tiseless, and does no good, Okeelu roplied that, as he had been referred to as having been drunk while ‘‘investigating,” he as- sorted that the detective who had told Mayor Boyd that ho was drank was a Lar, He could take three or four drinks of whisky and keep perfectly sover.. He had made it a business to visit houses of ill-fame for the past six weeks, and had found a great deal of rottenness. A man bad been killed on account of tha non-entorcement of the law regarding rope-walking per- formances. He wanted the mayor to bring that detective out and make him prove his words. The motion to put the Leeder reso- lution on file was put to a vote and lost. Baker thought if the services of a detective were entirely dispensed,with, it would be just as well also to dis- pense with the entire police force. Too much time had been wasted at com- mittee meetings in discussing the po- lice issue, which had been made too much tmportance of, Ifthe the thing continues it will take up noarly all the time, and allow no time for solid busi- ness. There is too much talk; too much gas. He advocated the en.ire wiping out of the polico force. Leeder agreed that it was better to do away with the police if a better forca.cannot be obtained. He wanted protection in his busincss as well as others, and he was going to kick until everything was rectified. O’Keefe said he wanted to bring the police issue to a focus three months ago. 1f the mayor had appointed the marshal and other cflicers three months ago, everything would have beed settled. All he wanted was a sqnare deal. Dellone said fhe believed we had some gocd policemen, but that the marshal waa no good, He then weni on to show that the marshal had not done his duty in regard to palling the houses of ill-fame, President Heiman suggested that regular writt harges bo brought, 80 the council can nctadvisedly, mouth charges amounted to nothing, Dunham moved to amend the reso- g employment of de- tective nob to exceed §70 per month be received, O Keefe said he had no objection to paying £75 per month for a good hon est detectiv McGuckin moved an amendment to o amendirent that tho mayor be al lowed to employ a detective for tho month of September, Dunham’s amendment was carried. Corby moved that the mayor be a'- lowed to employ a datective whenever he deems it necessary. Behm rose and ipsisted that the yeas and nays be taken on all resolu- tions involving the expenditure of money. Kaufman moved to lay Corby's res- olution on the table, Lost. O'Keefe moved to refer to commit- tee on judiciary. Carried. By Bakor: That city attorney re- port ordinance to bring Saunders street to grade, etc., from Cuming atreet north, Adopted. By Corby: That the mayor appoint appraisers to appraise damages of pro- posed change of grade on Haraey atre)nt, between Fifteenth and Twen- tieth.
