Considerable discussion ensued. Corby moved to place on file. O'Koefe favored the resolution. lie intimatoc d there waa a great deal of rottenness. Bohm opposed the resolution. Loeder thought the 75 per month for a do tcctivo was doing no good. Dunhan said ho had introduced a resolution t year ago for tha employment of a do teclivo , and ho argued that the services - vices of n detective were n necessity , O'Kccfo said a person could go to places and pay 15 cents for n 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 n focus and find out whore the rottenness is. Mayor Boyd , by permission , now addressed the council. Ho was perfectly - fectly satisfied to dispense with the services of n detective. _ About two mouths ngo Iho council refused tn allow n certain dotcctivo to work any longer. There has boon no regular cltlectivo since. Reference had been made to a certain man being employed , bnt that man had not been employed , Erery dollar expended for detective work J ! acjoinitcd. forj nnd ho ( the ipoaker ) could inako n ttntomotit ihoning its expenditure , and will do 10. Ho was not squandering money lor taking it for his own use. The council could do as they please , but hey could not insult him. Aa to the lotoses of prostitution , gambling louses , etc. , the gentleman ( referring , o O'Koefe ) , who had neon iuveatigat- nji for himself , bad been reported to litn as not having been in n condition , o investigate anything. The law atya thnt no house of prostitution or gambling housn shall bo allowed in Omaha , but the city council rocog- lizua them by fining them and allow ing them to go. Ho ha"d endeavored to keep thcso places within bounds. They are evils that will noconsarily ex- st and cannot bo stamped out. If itanipod out irt ono quarter they will open up in another. This city is as quiet and orderly as o gambling and prostitution and sa loons as any city in thn country. Ho did not behove liquor was being sold without license. All this funs is en tirely useless , and does no good , O'Koofo replied that , na ho had been referred to as having boon drunk' while "investigating , " ho as sorted that the detective who had told Mayor Boyd that ho was drunk was a liar. Ho could take three or four drinka of whisky and keep perfectly so Dor. Ho had made it a business to visit houses of ill-fame for the past six weeks , and had found a great deal bf rottenness. A man bad been killed on account of the non-ontorcoment of the law regarding rope-walking per- tormancea. IIo wanted the mayor to bring that detective out and make liim provo his worda. The motion to put the Loodor reso lution on file waa put to a vote and lost. lost.Baker Baker thought if the uorvicoa of a detective were entirely disponsedjwith , It would bo juat as well also to dis pense with tlio entire police forco. Too much time had been wasted at com mittee meetings in discussing the po lice issue , which had been made too much importance of. If the the thing continues it will take up nearly all the time , nnd allow no time for solid busi ness. There is too much talk ; too much gas. Ho advocated the oiuiro wiping out of the police forco. Loodor agreed that it was hotter to do ayfny with the police if n bettor forco.cmnot bo obtained. Ho wanted protection in his business as wolf as others , and he was going to kick until everything was rectified. O'Kcofo said ho wanted to bring the police issue to a focus three months ngo. If the mayor had appointed the marshal and other officers three months ago , everything would have beed settled. All ho wanted was a square deal. Dellono said | he believed wo had aomo good pol icemen , but that the marshal waa no good. Ho then woni On to show that iho marshal had not done his duty in regard to pulling the houses cf ill-fnuie. President Iloiman suggested that regular written charges bo brought , BO the council can nctadviaodly , moutl charges amounted to nothing. Dunham moved to amend the reso lution authorizing employment of d - tectivo not to exceed ยง 75 per month bo received , O Keofo said ho had no objection t < piying $75 per month for a good hon est detective. McGuckin moved an amendment to ( ? ho amendircnt that the mayor bo ul lowed to employ a detective for the month of Suptombor. Dunh tin's amendment was cirried. Corby moved that the mayor bo a lowed to employ n detective whenever ho deems it necessary. Bohm rose and insisted that the yeas and nnya bo taken on all resolu- tiona involving the expenditure o money. Kaufman moved to Jay Corby's resolution elution on the table. Lost. O'Keofo moved to refer to committee toe on judiciary. Carried. By Baker : That city attorney report port ordinance to bring Saundora street to grade , etc. , from Cuming street north. Adopted.
