The ordinance providing that there

conjunction with saloon, objected to
at the last meeting, came up on its
second reading, and Mr.. Miller, Mr..
Kindleberger in the chair, offered an
amendment including pool tables, or
slot machines Mr.. Kindelberger ruled
the amendment out of order Mr..
Miller kicked vigorously and there was
a spirited contest between the two, Mr..
Kindelberger saying that there could
be no recognition Of a gambling de-
vice in an ordinance of that sort.
Mr. Korn-I'm in favor of licensing
slot machines. They run anyhow.
The Chair-If you have any informa-
ton on that subject have none Of
ficially-you ought to complain to the
Chief of Police.
MIR. Miller continued his fruitless
controversy with the Chair at some
length, but was finally pounded off the
floor, and the ordinance was adopted
by vote of 10 ayes to noes.
