has ideas of his own as to the relative
evils of different methods of betting
The city council recently passed an or
dinance making it unlawful to bet
money on horse or other races in At,
lanta, but his honor vetoed it. He
said that the ordinance as construct

evils of bucket shops and said that
the injury accomplished by the bet
ting on horse racing amounts to prac-
ticall nothing when compared to
legalized and professional gambling
known as futures.
