not try Newbros Herpicide? Others have

WILL RESTRICT
LICENSES TO 125
BILLIARD HALL PERMITS ARE
LIMITED
Police Commissioners Decide to Keep
Number Of Poolrooms Down-Ae-
ton May Result in Man.
damus Suits

Under a new ruling of the police
commission. adopted yesterday. there
are but 10 more billiard and pool room
licenses at the disposal Of the commits
sion. The number of licenses that
may be issued was restricted to 1876.
With two which were yesterday grant
ed by the commission there now are
ll5 billiard licenses existing.
The commission may have to prove
In the courts its right to restrict the
number of licenses A representative
of billiard table company recently
told the commission that any effort
to limit the number would result In
mandamus suits to compel the board
to issue the licenses 1t is claimed that
the billiard hall business is a perfectly
legitimate one and the commission has
no legal right to restrict a legitimate
business.
This ruling OF the commission. how
ever, will probably result in a rush of
applications for licenses. The com
mission is called upon at every session
to act on at least half a dozen of these
applications and until recently most
of them have been granted without
question.
This ruling is one that has been de-
manded by several chiefs of police.
Chief Hammel was insistent in his
demand that the commission restrict
the number of billiard halls. declaring
them to be a source of evil and re-
quiring almost undivided attention from
the members of his police force Chief
Auble has several times asked that
the number be limited on the same
grounds. 1t was on his recommends
tion that the commission made ts
ruling yesterday.
Number of Licenses Restricted
Last week the chief told the com
mission he believed there were more
than 200 billiard halls in Los Angeles
and most of them were causing trouble
A member of the council who was pres
ent at the meeting was asked by the
mayor if the council would pass an
ordinance restricting the number. The
councilman replied that he did not be-
lieve it would. for If they were evil
things they should be abolished and if
not should be allowed to continue un-
hampered.
The chief yesterday reported he had
hade a mistake in his calculation and
that instead of 200 there were but 11S
in existence. TIe recommended that
the number be restricted to $50. Com
missioner James moved for a restric-
tion of 125 and the commission adopted
the amendment.
This ruling practically makes the
billiard hall situation the same as the
saloon question. The number of saloons
is limited to 200 and the licenses are
all taken. The only way new dealer
can get into the saloon business is to
buy the business of SOME one who is
already established.
This has resulted in a traffic in IL
Censes as shown at a recent investi-
CATION of the police commission where
it was found that $4,000 was demanded
for one license.
City officials fear the limitation of
billiard hall licenses will result in the
same sort of traffic.

is distinctly fOreshadowed by a lit

the Lafayette police jury recently.
The assessment of Lafayette was
increased twenty five per cent last
year, and is being giving another
tilt this year, and over a thousand
taxpayers petltiOned for cores

from ten to seven and one half

But the police jury decided that
they couldn't do it. They had al
ready planned to spend the increa,
ed revenue; increased school appro
prlatiOns and lost some revenue.
They held out the hope that later
on perhaps when they see how this
year's assessment will stack up
they may do something; not yet,
but soon, as it were.
