Reversing his former action in the
matter, County Attorney Fl. A. Griffths
on Tuesday sanctioned the granting of a
license to M. @. Keith. to conduct a
poolhall at Wilder ABOUT two months
ago, when Keith's old license expired,
the prosecutor refused to allow new
one to be granted. His action then was
the result OF complaints by residents of
the Wilder section who declared that
minors had been allowed to frequent
Keith's place. The proprietor acknow
lodged guilt in the matter, but declared
he had been misinformed as to the law
in idaho.
1t now seems that Keith did not close
up as anticipated, but, as he had a legal
right to do, merely cut out the pool and
billiards and continued TO run the card
tables and other features Of his business.
This brought out an entirely new situa-
ton as there was no law barring minors
from his place The same people who
previously objected to the renewal Of
keith's pool room license because mi
nors were allowed in the place now
found themselves helpless to prevent
these same minors from focking into
his establishment. They decided that
Of the two choices 1t would be better for
Keith to have the license and Tor the
minors to be thus legally barred. The
countyprosecutor merely accepted their
revised view OF the situation in permit
ting issuance Of the license Tuesday
