So read the report of Supervisors

The committee went on to say that

acknowledged the community was the

of rejecting the petitions for the slot

UNANIMOUS VERDICT
The 10 supervisors present voted
Aye" to this sentiment upon Hergets
call for the roll, and the slot machines
are gone beyond present resurrection.
The report of the committee follows:
The matter of the enactment of
an ordinance permitting the use of
slot machines has been before the
police committee of the board of
SUPERVISORS for many months. Mer-
chants, bankers. cigar dealers and
businessmen Of all sections of the
city have petitioned the board from
time to time for the passage of an
ordinance that would permit the
use OF slot. machines trade

held several meetings in the mat
ter and has heard fully and with
a great deal of considera ton the
arguments of those favoring the
machines and those protesting
against them
Previous 10 the close of the last
administration the slot machine
was prohibited by ordinance and a
large source of revenue amounting
70 approximately 100000 a year in
Incense taxes was thereby de-
stroyed, so that when the present
board of supervisors anne into of

ing list of budget expenditures
and a greatly diminished source of
revenue with which to meet them.
This in some way or other had to

OF the city's affairs was to be car
ried on efficiently and with proper
result to the tax payers.

Moral Wave Sweeps Board
Swa1nps Slot Machine Bill
Police Committee of Supervisors Reports
Unfavorably on Ordinance

only on the condition that they
could be so regulated by law as
to eliminate all the gambling fea-
lures of the machine and to correct
the other abuses that grew out of
its use in previous years. Under
no consideration would the police
committee recommend the restora-
ton of the slot machines on any
other condition. The committee
is, and always will be. unalterably
opposed to anything that will tend
the moral standing of the COM
munity, or to place before the youth
of the city anything that would en-
courage the gambling spirit, In
culcate immoral habits or permit
anything that would prey upon the
weaker members OF the community.
The police committee believes
that the slot machine was matter
for regulation, and not a matter for
absolute prohibition, and for that
reason thought of submitting to the
board, without recommendat ton, an
ordinance permitting the use of two
machines at each stand, under
such restrictions as would prohibit
gambling Slot machines, under
such an ordinance, the committee
believed, could be permitted with
ample protection to the public and
enue to the city.
CONQUERS
It has lately developed. however.
that the general public is not ia
vorable to the restoration of the
slot machines on any condition
whatsoever. Protests have been
filed by organizations representing
all classes of citizens. The Mer-
chants association the Y NJ c. A.
the Royal Arch. the city front fed
Grafton, the Downtown association.
numerous other organizations, and
even some of the cigar dealers
themselves, have placed themselves
on record as emphatically opposed
to the restoration of the machines.
Moreover, persistent rumors of
an attempt to monopolize the man
ufacture of the machines in the
event of favorable action by the
board, which. of course, could not
be countenanced, has disposed the
committee TO change it's opinion as
to the advisahility of enacting such
an ordinance and to seek other
means for making up the loss of
revenue caused by the abolishment
of the slot machines. With these
considerations in mind your COM
mittee therefore recommends that
the petitions on file requesting the
restoration of the slot machines be
denied.
In conclusion your committee
wishes to add that 1t has been sub
jected to considerable abuse in this
matter from anonymous letter
writer's and has been frequently
and grossly misrepresented by the
press, but that at all times 1t has
been actuated solely by sincere
desire to do what it thought best
for the community a [ large. to re-
store in some measure al least the
revenue that was lost to the city
and to afford relief to those men
engag ged in the legitimate cigar
business who had suffered by the
severity of the law.

Supreme Court Decides That

Make Improvements
Power Is Vested in MunicipaIi-
ties to Which Localities in
Dispute Are Annexed

BY a decision of the supreme court
handed down yesterday the issuance of
S355,O00 worth of bonds for sewer i'm
provements is stopped in six of the bay
county sanitary districts that have be-
come annexed to a municipality since
bond elections. The case in point that
decided the fate of pending petitions
tary district, which by annexation has
become part of Oakland
Other districts which have been de-
MED the right to proceed with the issu-
ance of bonds voted upon by the dis
tricts are Redwood sanitary district,
$4,000 bond issue; Seminary Park san
itary district, $4,000 bond issue; Fitch
burg sanitary district, $4,000 bond is
sue; Elmhurst sanitary district. $4,000
bond issue; Upper Fruitvale sanitary
district, 100000.
SETTLES LONG DISPUTE
The decision is of far reaching i'm
portance and settles point that has
long been in dispute. In all the cases
the situation was the same The dis
trfct had voted to bond itself to make
the sewer improvements under the pro-
nation of sanitary districts. Before the
actual issuance of the bonds the dis
trict had voted for annexation with the
municipalities
The question then involved was
whether the rights of the sanitary
boards appointed to issue the bonds and
have the work done We're not dissolved
upon the district becoming q part Of
the municipality The districts held
that as the election for the improve
ments had been held prior to the an
neXation and under statutory provisions
the issuance of bonds was a valid pro-
cedure.
ONE BODY SUFFICIENT
In the opinion of the supreme court
it is stated that with the effacement of
the district by merger with the munich
pality all the rights of the board and
all the work of street Improvement be-
comes municipal matters and the SAN
itary board is dissolved. The opinion
holds that to allow another condition to
prevail would be to have two bodies
exercising governmental functions in
one community such a condition
would produce confusion and conflict"
It is pointed out that the Oakland
freeholders charter covers the dispute
with the proviso that on fling returns
on the annexation that the territory
to be annexed shall be to all intents and
purposes part of the municipal cor
poration."
DISTRICTS LOSE RIGHTS
All of the cases had been decided In
lower courts in favor of the sanitary
districts. The decision of the supreme
court says that all the rights OF san
ftary district are taken up by the NUM-
cipality into which the district becomes
merged and that the district is then
governed by the charter of the muni-
cipality.
ii the disarict wishes to proceed
with the construction of its own i'm
provements. the court pointed out that
this could be done under later act
entitled An act to provide separate
sewer districts within the municipal
ity"
