which gave the mayor, and police and
fire chiefs power to pass rules and
regulations and empowered the may
or to revoke licenses of undesirable
places.
The Woman's Club started the agi-
tation for a board of censors and it
was their petition which set the city
fathers at work on the proposition
Now that the work Is in fair way
to be started, the acting mayor says
he would like to have some OF its
members or any other individuals in
terested, to go and look at number
of motion pictures, take the serial
number or title Of pictures they deem
Objectionable and report back to him.
He gives his assurance that the mat
ter will be thoroughly investigated
In this way, he says. he hoped to
learn Of the sort of pictures which
are considered objectionable.
