How IT WORKED. That ihs ordinance IL
censing gambling, ard conGning it to the
second stories of buildings, would be failure
during the Ssats Fair was predicted by many,
especially the sporting fraternity and saloon
and hotel-keepers who had rooms on the first
floors that they have heretofore rented for
gambling purposes at fabulous prices. The
fair has come and gone. So have the sports
and gamblers. Upon inquiry it has been ascsr.
taired thst the ordinance was observed and
enforced throughout the city. During the
fair twenty-three games were licsnsed for the
week, they paying IN each case $50. Twelve
others took out license for the quarter at S100
each, making 81, $50 revenue which he's been
paid into the city Treasury. 1t is estimated
that tifsssn games, faro and tan, will be run
In the city throughout the year, which will
pay into the city treasury Sc 600. Add TO
this ths amount paid for games fair week and
the arnouat is increased to S7,150.
