corporation which It is supposed Intends to establish the ald district The has lias boon been Jeen given RIven careful consider consideration consideration titian and I have hare ha e tIle the honor to say In re reply reply ply The he action of ot your our club and the send ing Int of or your OUr communication to the gov governor governor governor and the thu attorney general g Is the rankest piece of or hypocrisy that has come cometo cometo cometo to my 1 attention for a long time You YouMa Mate Ma to that you OU have huo reason to believe that Dora Dorn B n and her associates in inthis Inthis inthis this corporation Intend to acquire use own rent let lease and devise prop property property property erty for tor Illicit mid and illegal purposes to wit for the uses and purposes of ot prostitution prostitution and you ou believe that said Bold Dora B 13 should not be permitted to do under the guise ulse of ot a corporation that which she could not lawfully do as an Individual Conditions In City And yet et your our own party which has been In power In Salt Lake City for tor near nearly nearl nearly ly l three years jears ears Is permitting individuals openly and flagrantly to do the very things you ou think this corporation In Intends Intends Intends tends to do for or which Intention you OU ask the state officials to dissolve the cor corporation You are well aware that the business you suspect this corporation of intending to carry carryon on Is being flagrantly conducted by b a n large lare number of ot Individuals indivIduals in Salt Lake Lako City that houses arc being rented and used for this Oils Illicit traC traffic traffic fic tc against the plain provisions of the ordinances of the city and that if It it Is not done by the sanction It Is done dono with the sufferance of your jour own party as rep represented represented represented resented by the city t council 1 and the po police police police lice department And 1 I have every rea rca reason reason son to believe that the city receives a considerable revenue from this same il II illicit licit and illegal business And yet et you OU ask the state officials to dissolve a II cor corporation corporation corporation for Intending to carry carryon on this business instead of demanding that the city officials do their duty by suppress suppressing suppressIng ing In the thA same flame business now carried ca ried on by Individuals Who Is Responsible I y am nm convinced that If It the Incorporators incorporates of oC this company compan contemplate establishing such fluch a district they are arc doing doln so because they the feel secure in making large Invest Investments Investments Investments ments for this purpose on account of the tho protection now afforded the business where It is now being b conducted by b Indi Individuals which protection they the are doubt doubtless doubtless doubtless less assured the city administration will give 10 to the business when conducted by bya a corporation And it seems to me that Instead of ot condemning condemn In certain of ot your our city officials for tor favoring the proposed establishment of this district you OU should condemn the entire city administration for not suppressing the traffic where it itIs Is Ss already being openly awl notoriously conducted And instead of ot calling on the state officials to dissolve a 1 corporation you think contemplates breaking the law you rou should unequivocally demand that the city ct officials suppress and destroy the samo same traffic as Il it now nov exists under und r the tho management of ot Individuals And I J believe bell eve I can safely sarel pl dge to the city officials the undivided support of the sheriffs office In their warfare on this business and I know that all nIl tho th power of the th state will be given In sup RUp support support port of ot their efforts to suppress It And ff It It shall bome b ome an undoubted fact that Dora B and her associates are aro conducting this business under un er the guise of a II corporation It will th n be time for forthe forthe forthe the governor and the attorney general to take steps s ps to dissolve the th corporation and there thero will then be sufficient reasons for far the tho dissolution Traffic Should Be Stopped I am bitterly anI nn unqualifiedly opposed to this traffic It should be stopped topped The officials of oC Salt Lake City imme immediately immediately Institute proceedings s to drive all prostitutes and their parasites out of ot the city The nest of Iniquity Infesting Com Corn Commercial Comm mercial m street and other places in the city should be Immediately broken up and Its tit Inmates Inmate driven from the town But the proper way to tf t do this is for the city officials strictly to enforce the ordinances against this form f rm of ot lawbreaking If It It should develop that they are either cither un unable unable unable able or unwilling to do so then the aid of oC the county count or even of the state may maybe ma mabe maybe be Invoked for this laudable purpose Yours very ery tru trul truly JOHN JOlIN C CUTLER Governor |
