templated by the mayor and council OF
Council Bluffs, as means of recouping
the loss sustained by the closing ou.
of the gambling houses which formerly

interviewed concerning the proposed
measure, said he did not believe that

are being hit too hard II any consider
able raise is made, this man said, but
admitted that it appeared to be the
only way in sight for raising the need

A local attorney who had figured
some on the matter said: IF the rent
were to be doubled. the help expense

probably result in merely cutting the

increase in the revenue for the city.

made up. 1t has been pointed out that
