POOL AND BILLIARD ROOMS.
the Law Relating t.
Places of Amusement.

A bill providing a more strict regula-
ton and supervision Of public pool and
billiard places and bowling alleys In the
District was forwarded by the Commits
soners today to Senator Gallinger. chair
man of the Senate committee on District
affairs. The measure was drawn up by
the Commissioners upon the recommended
ton of Maj. Sylvester. superintendent OF
police.
II the bill is enacted into law. it will
be made unlawful for the proprietors of
tables. jenny lind tables. or games Of
Switchboard and bowling alleys. kept for
public hire and gain. to permit the sale
Of liquor on the premises All such places
must be closed Sundays. and must close
other nights at II o'clock.
The bill also provides that all clubs
where more than one pool or billiard table
or bowling alley or other tables are
operated for profit or gain shall be
licensed and shall be required to pay an
annual tax of SIS for each table. Such
clubrooms shall at all times be open to
inspection by any member of the police
force No person under eighteen years Of
kage will be permitted to enter these clubs.
Any person violating the provisions of
this law shall. upon conviction. be pun
ished by a fine of not less than S or
more than $40, and shall. In addition. for
felt his license irf the discretion of the
Commissioners.
The following extract from the annual
report of Maj. sSyivester Is of interest in
this connection, md was included by the
Commissioners IN their letter to Senator
Gallinger:
Recently new feature has been de-
veloped by proprietors of resorts in Wash
ington which has a tendency to reduce
the revenues from license fees now re-
quired by the law. Several persons will
obtain a charter to organize a social club,
which confers upon them the privilege to
keep open at all hours, and others will be
admitted to membership upon the payment
Of nominal fee Of 81 each. Pool tables
are then placed in the club premises. and
members are permitted to play on the
same without charge as long as the club
exists. This would indicate that there
must be some other way of meeting the
EXPENSES of the club"
