POOL ROOMS
UNDER FIRE
Council Committee viii Have
a Public Hearing This
Evening.
ABOUT SEVENTY FIVE
PLACES NOW In CITY

One of the most important matters
70 be taken up by the City Council
committees at their meeting in Council
chambers tonight. will be the pool
room question. Tonight is the time
fixed for public hearing in the matter
and those interested in the passage
of a law to regulate the pool rooms
are invited to be present
The pool room question, in the opin-
ion Of Chief of Police George Black.
IS getting to be a serious problem. and
he. probably more than any other in
dividual in the city. is most interested
in the matter because of personal oh
servation He said to-day that if
something was not done soon, and
some of these places of amusement
allowed TO continue as they are they
will result in the downfall of many of
the boys just growing into manhood.
"I have heen reliahably informed
that gambling is going on i'm some Of
these places and that they remain open
all hours of the night, making a
rendezvous for boys and young men"
said Chief Black.
Boys that are brought into court
on charges of theft it is nearly always
learned had just left a pool room be-
fore they committed the acts for which
they fall into the hands Of the police, %
he added.
'Trnder the present conditions" said
Chief Black. I'VE cannot police or go
into the pool rooms and can practically
do nothing To improve conditions.
can see no difference between saloon
and a nool room so far as closing up
time is concerned. and the later should
be made TO close at the same time as
the saloon" he said
Chief Black brought the matter of
pool rooms and the conditions under
which they are now operated TO Coun-
cirs attention sometime ago, but moth
ing was ever done with the matter.
Whether politics entered into the ques-
ltian or what the trouble was. the SUBJ
iect was allowed to remain dorment.
Tho law committee of Council has now
decided to take up the matter and to-
night is the night for the hearing and
the opportunity is offered to every
body interested i'm the welfare Of the
youth of the city 10 attend.

said there is need of reform with the

He spoke of the desirability of young

To-day throughout the land we find
