that in some of the counties the

" If this is true it would indicate
that a number of persons through

There is no reason why there Shou!0
be a less number OF licenses ISSUED
this year than last. except perhaps
is some counties where slot ma
chimes have been forced out of bust
ness.

and found great many persons con

the proper license therefor. NO il
