Plumbing Ct Mayor Morgan attended the meeting yes- terday morning of the Ministerial associa- tion at the First Baptist church and after Iistening to an arraignment of the city ad- ministration by Rev. A. E. Buriff, pastor portunity to reply to the reverend gentle- man’s criticism. Rev. Burift read a paper entitled, “Responsibility for Local Law- lessness,” and quoted coplously from data which he had secured during a recent in- vestigation of the methods pursued by the | city authorities in dealing with saloons, the social evil and other moral problems. In opening Rev. Buriff sald that the re- sponsibility for local lawlessness rested primarily in public sentiment and those | who had influence in moulding public opin- churches and the editors of the daily news- At the same time, he asserted, the city authorities elected by the people were the ones legally responsible for the condi- The Sun- day theater and the open saloon, he sald, were a desecration ef the Sabbath and both were permitted in violation of the law. His remarks concerning the fines im- posed monthly by the city on fallen women were particularly caustic and he insisted that the soomer the city washed its hands of this nefarious business the better. Rev. Burift's remarks incited considerable dis- cussion among the ministers present, who, while taking exception to some of them, endorsed them as & whole. At the conclusion of the discussion Mayor Morgan addressed the meeting in answer to the general criticism on the city ad- ministration. He explained that there were conditions with which the ministers were probably not conversant. One of these con- ditions, he explained, was that of insuff- clent revenue derived from the 10-mill levy, all that is allowed by law, with which (o carry on the affairs of the city and provide for the fire and police depart- ments.
