made are not at all secrets

of the existence of these

the town of Coolidge sprung
up, but have neglected to Of
fer any real resistance.

knowledge among our
town-people, as | have
heard people of our neigh
boring towns comment of the
wide open gambling dens
the people of Coolidge are
permitting to flourish unmo-
Tested.
! am wondering if our law
officers are aware of this
situation, and if they are, it
would be we'll for them to
refresh their mind as to their
obligations as officers of the
law.
1t is my understanding
there have been two shot
ing scrapes and numerous
fist fights taken place in
one of these popular vulture
haunts and if there has been
an arrest, have not heard
of it.
1t is actually becoming a
hazard to travel certain
street.
The citizens of Coolidge
should realize these gambl-
ing dens are getting a GER
tain per cent of our small
payroll and in most cases,
the poor goof that permits
these inequitable gamblers
take his money, has a family
at home who are the ones
that actually suffer for some
thing the town of Coolidge
is permitting to exist, please
think this over Mr.. Reader,
is this an asset to our COM
