Mr.. Louthan's letter in full follows:
To the taxpayers of Maury county:
For the purpose Of correcting the
false impression which prevails in
some parts of your county that the

Basey on the value freal estate,

POOL ROOMS TO
OBSERVE LAWS
IS ORDERS NOW
POLICE RECEIVE INSTRUCTIONS
TO SEE THAT MINORS ARE
KEPT AWAY FROM THEM.
OR ARREST THE pROpRIETCRS
In Line With the Announced Deter
mination of Mayor w. o. Cherry to
lmpartially Execute All of the Laws
Upon the Statute Books.

The law against permitting minors
to play at pool or billiards or to loaf
around the billiard and pool rooms
OF Columbia is going to be rigidly en-
forced. The police have already re-
ceived instructions to execute the
law and the proprietors of the pool
and billiard rooms have been notified
that they will be prosecuted to the
full extent of the law if they do not
conform to it.
Already the work of the police is
bearing fruit and one of the pool room
proprietors has had to appear before
the city Judge. They all look alike
TO the administration. Several com
plants have been made in the past
by school teachers and parents that
the young boys were allowed to loaf
around aud play at the pool rooms
and become demoralized. They are
now congratulating the administra-
ton Of the decision to enforce the
laws.
This is strictly in line with the an
nonnced decision OF the mayor w.
o. Cherry, 10 enforce all the laws. 1t
is going to be the policy of the may
or to deal with all violators of the
law alike. He will know no difference
between them.
It is not only against the city law
to permit minors to play Mt public
pool and billiard tables but it is also
against the state law. The grand jury
has inquisitorial powers TO punish vi
olators and should the city law not
prove to be effective it is not improb-
able that the matter will be carried
before the grand jury.
