A CONSERVATIVE OBSERVATION

Viewed dispassionately and from
a conservative viewpoint. it seemed
that the large. wealthy banking i'm
stitutions of the country without
savings departments were bitterly
opposed TO the guarantee of depos-
its in their institutions and the re-
sulting heavy tax 10 add to the guar
antee fund. On the other hand they
were not much concerned about the
action OF the government in going
into the savings bank business as is
provided in the platform of the Re
publican Party and which would re-
suit in great injury to the savings
banks of the country.

TOWN ASKED TO
LICENSE GAMBLING
Attorney Submits Proposed Or
dinance at Meeting of Trus=
tees of Ocean View

BERKELEY, Dec. Establishing
poolrooms for gambling on horse races.
under municipal license, was the propo-
sition placed before the trustees of the
new town of Ocean View tonight by
P. NJ Walsh. an attorney of Oakland.
Walsh appeared before the board
with the draft of an ordinance which
provided for licensing poolrooms at
$500 a quarter. The introduction of
the measure came as a surprise to the
townspeople. who had not been advised
that such a plan was under considera-
tion.
Informal discussion among the trus-
tees gave evidence that the proposed
municipal poolrooms were not unfavor-
ably thought of, at least by a majority
of the board
In accordance with the rules, Walsh's
ordinance was referred to the license
committee That 1t will meet with the
opposition of District Attorney Dona-
hue is certain.
Walsh did not disclose the identity
of his clients, but they are said to be a
number of poolroom operators who look
for opportunity to open the game un-
der conditions similar to those which
have existed at Sausalito.
