of the city authorities to "clean
them out"
He said that he favored taking
out all cards, card tables, dice
or other devices by which gambl-

for the enforcement Of an Ordin-
ance, which he understood the
city had, placing a license of
$3.50 a month on each pool table.

stated that he would ask for the
assistance and support of the
authorities in the incorporated
cities of the county, st. Maries

ulate the pool rooms with a view
of forcing some of them out Of
business by placing a prohibitive
license on them, and also asked
the help of the city authorities
in abolshing houses of ill-fame.

recommend what action they
thought advisable.
