<br />
<br />.Courts 67~8 has r~led that the constitutional rights gives anyone the privilege of
<br />speaking if they desire to speak; the right of using my loud speaker has been
<br />authorized by the Supreme Court in New York, providing the loud speaker is con-
<br />trolled by City Ordinances of every City, to be heard within a 500-foot radius and
<br />I b-ye attempted to comply with the rules; I am sorry if I have offended anyone or!
<br />annoyed the merchants. The Mayor stated there is no quarrel with the right of
<br />free speech, or the right to worship, but complaints have been registered that you
<br />are using the loud speaker system to make derogatory and salacious remarks and
<br />turning it up to the annoyance of the people in that particular area. Counci~m~au
<br />
<br />Gould asked the Reverend Wilson if the Manager of ~,llen & Bluett had requested ~
<br />that the speaker be turned down. Reverend Wilson replied that he was requested to!
<br />do so. Councilman Gould stated that it had been reported that you called a merchant
<br />
<br />a sinner. The Reverend Wilson stated the merchant swore at him and he rebuked himi
<br />
<br />Councilman Brewer said these merchants have complained to the Police about the an-~
<br />noyanc~the loud speaker and the Preacher's voice can be heard beyoud 500 feet.!~"
<br />The Preacher was asked if he entered an automobile, not owned by him, and moved ~
<br />
<br />it to park his car there, and he replied he had; also he had met the owner of the i
<br />car and told him he had ~moved the car. The Mayor asked if he had adjusted his '
<br />
<br />loud speaker after receiving so many complaints and the Preacher said he had turne.
<br />
<br />it down wherever possible and explained he ~id not think he could he heard beyond
<br />
<br />the 500-foot radius at any time. Nr. R. G. Tho~pson, ~ll North Broadway, stated
<br />
<br />his store was not open Friday nights until last Fall, and we would have to conduct ~
<br />our paint business in the back of the store to be heard. Harry Carter of Carter's
<br />Lighting, BO9 North Broadway, said action should be taken when the noise inter-
<br />feres with the conduct of business. Mrs. Ferguson Wilson spoke on behalf of her
<br />
<br />husband, stating she knows he meant no harm to aayone and was trying to get people
<br />
<br />who are not church members, to listen to the word of God, and said she had been on,
<br />
<br />the street corner durin~ the services, and requested that his license not be re-
<br />voked. It was moved by Councilman Gould and seconded by Hubbard, that this CounciJ
<br />
<br />finds the Reverend Wilson, by his methods, has created a public nuisance, and has
<br />
<br />been disturbing the peace and quiet of the neighborhood, and that said Street Use
<br />
<br />Permit be revoked, without prejudice, and to file a new application for another
<br />
<br />location.
