400 Yard Limit in Eureka Tested
District Attorney tested the 400 yard law in Eureka over a suspected house of ill fame near Boel and Clark streets and later near North Buel street. Measurements showed the first house inside the 400 yard boundary from a school, prompting removal of the tenant. A second complaint near the Presbyterian Church found no violation, as distance exceeded the limit and no action was taken. The amended Nevada statute bars keeping or renting premises within 400 yards of a school or church for such uses.
