gambling, because the Board became entirely

violations, and therefore with tacit constant
approval, but also that the ordinance itself
was being used in certain quarters SIS power
under which blsckmail was systematically
| levied monthly upon most of the propristors
I of gambling houses for the enrichment of
certain parties at and beyond the vanish
ing point" discovered by the late Grand
Jury. The ordinances was therefore repealed

Trustees are determined TO adopt some
method by which TO reduce the evils COM
planned of to the lowest possible point. and
prevent the continued debsuching Influence

being seriously considered, and may be
brought up at the Board meeting this morn

not be so framed as to best enable the enforce.
ment of respect tor the law, or at least to
prevent the demorsljzing practice of buying
"hush." It is understood to be the desire of
those conducting the games that, il they are
to be allowed to continue, they be re-
lieved from paying tribute to the present
Ce ,ar, preferring that it accrue to the benefit
of the city treasury.
