appreciation to the City Council and particularly to Mayor

efforts in resolving problems in their area. Mrs. Lahr
presented a petition signed by a number of residents in the
area voicing a number of canplaints regarding the area.
The petition reads in full as follows:
we the undersigned do hereby appeal to the City Council and
other City agencies for action on the following matters:
1. The boarded up house at 303 Bast Elm Street,
owned by Pat Manley and abated by the City.
Shed on the property is being used by
prostitutes for entertaining,their gentlemen
and also is being used by' the drunks from
Sacramento Street for sleeping. The porches
are used for drinking socials.
2. We want the prostitutes off our surae:.
They are responsible for the increase of
undesireables on the street. Our children
deserve better than this.
3. We want to see the attitude of Sacramento
Street changed. If this condition existed
near Parkwest, Sunwest or Rivergate, it
would not be tolerated. While this has been
an ongoing problem on Sacramento Street for
years vhy does it have to continue. There
are numerous ordinances on your City books
that are being broken everyfty. If we break
the law we pay, but these people are allowed
to break your laws daily without recourse.
4 Gentlemen, Eastside Lodi does exist. While
there is money going into our area for Hale
Park, our biggest problems are not being
addressed. Vandalism is on the increase as
well as gang activity, drug's, prostitution,
as well as numerous other crimes. Please
give this petition some thought and act on
it accordingly. We want the privilege every
other resident of Lodi has, that is the
right to raise our children without all of
the riff raff that is allowed to flourish in
our neighborhoods. Also we would like tc
feel that Eastside Lodi does matter.
