Noisy Meeting Over Reopening Houses Of Ill Fame In Hosmer
A March 26 gathering in Hosmer moved from the planned schoolhouse to the opera house for a public meeting on reopening houses of ill fame. Speakers split on the issue, with strong opposition led by Rev R W Lee and supporters including W B Wright. The vote edged to reopening, while coroner’s inquiry into the Wellington disaster criticized Great Northern for low wages and inadequate crew, and for paying 15 cents an hour.
