Peterson, Commissioner Department of Public Safety Dear Commissioner: l9ry�% Attached is a list of complaints and police calls dating om September, 1956, to the present involving a licensed business establishment known as Russell's Bar or Russell's Tavern at 557 Rondo Avenue. This list indicates an alarming increase in lawlessness and apparently an utter irresponsibility of operation. It appears that the owner or manager shows a total disregard of the law, and evidences no responsibility in the control of the premises or of his customers. This condition has resulted in the place becoming a "poison spot ", a hang -out, and a breeding place of crime and lawlessness. Due to the above facts and conditions, which have culminated in the murder of Ralph Thomas on December 6, 1959, it is being brought to your attention for your review and study with the thought that the licenses held by this establishment be revoked in order to eliminate any future trouble. This suggested action would emphasize the point that an owner and /or manager has a responsibility to the City and community, and he is charged with conducting a respectable establishment.
