to LoA9 Robes court. The trustees thought
It was not a good plan to give 1t the same

Trustee Hamilton brought up the mat
ter of the nickel-in-th-slot machines,

ton to gambling to many small boys, and
spoke Of one place in particular where he
thought they were having a bad effect upon
the youths Of the town. He wanted to have
an ordinace passed which would prohibit
them.
President Hartwell said IL it was the IN
itention to stop gambling in every form 1t

fowl OF the other. hence the gambling at
church fairs, and socials ought to be in
cluded in the ordinance. II one were to be
passed, to which the other trustees as
sented at once. Nothing definite was done
In the matter.

ably not be heard from to any great ex-
tent. 1t seems that John ]. O'Neill went

Ir. Prittie and O'Neil went with Marshal
Lacey up to the recorders office, and Re
corder Rossiter thought the city had good
