to the deplorable fact that drun drunkenness lienne has haa increased to an alarming extent during the last few years the evidences are so abundant of this truth that it is scarcely necessary to enumerate them in this petition there are between forty and fifty drinking saloons in the city around many of which gather persons in various stages of intoxication so much so that ladies of respectability cannot pass such localities without incurring the tho danger of being insulted by men and even by boys whose whore who re intellects and senses are blunted and their natures rendered brutal by the lD influence fluence of strong drink drunkenness cannot exist in any community without producing nearly every degrading vice known to the vocabulary of crime and our deep seated conviction is that this curse to humanity is increased fostered and encouraged by the abundance of opportunities for its indulgence provided by the nu drinking establish establishments me ants that are art located on many of eur our streets parents and all others having the welfare of the rising generation at heart must feel the increasing danger to which the young people of the community are
