The document outlines penalties for keeping or operating houses of prostitution and for visiting such houses. It specifies that persons found at such houses between certain hours may be deemed prima facie evidence of patronage and sets punishments including imprisonment up to three months or fines up to one hundred dollars or both. The notice references the Sedgwick Ordinance and is signed by George L. Kreek.
