That Is What Supervisor
Comte Says About Nickel in
the Slot Machines
Prohibitory Ordinance Held Up
for Week by the Board
of Supervisors


When the nickeiin the slot machine!
ordinance came before the board of
supervisors. yesterday Grand Juryman
p. }. Healy announced that the in.
quisitorial body would have a recon-
mencation to make in regard to the.
matter and asked weeks postpone
pent. This was agreed to by Connolly,
who introduced the prohibitory bill,
and By McLeran, who introduced
measure to permit the use of two ma
chimes at every stand. The board put
the bill over and Immediately there
after Murphy moved that the tax col
lector be requested TO inform the board
how much revenue would be lost to
the city by the proposed legislation.
s1:,z00.OoO THROWN AWAY
That's not a proper notion said
Comte. Besides these slot machines
there are plenty Of other disreputable
things that may be taxed. Let's en-
large the tax collectors commission
and ask him how much money the city
is losing by not licensing faro games
and all sorts of gambling. Why, Mr..
Chairman, IA the machines that pay
our citizens every year
The board voted that Murphy might
secure his information, but D'Ancona
stated his affirmative vote did not in
dicate any particular reliance on it's
timeliness to the main issue. The
board will be fairly split in two on
the proposition, the total prohibition
of the machines after July 1 and the
restriction of two machines only
standing about equal chance of adop-
ton.
POUND LIMIT ENLARGED
The board passed the bill enIarging
the two COW limit; the one prohibit
ing minors under Is years from visit
ing five cent and other public dance
halls, and referred to the public utili-
ties committee Henry Colombats petit
ton that future franchises be granted
only when embodying provisions for
bidding stock watering" etc.
Murphy secured the passage of a
resolution asking the governor not to
approve Wright's state franchise BILL
which would take away the city's CON
troll of its thoroughfares.
McAllister asked that the city re-
move the poles and concrete bases in
the midline of Van Ness avenue, but
the matter was referred TO the artificial
lights committee.
