The Migratory Bird Treaty Act was signed,

GAMBLING OPENING

A great deal of scuttlebutt is
floating around the island, start
ing last night. First of all, as you
know, the bingo games opened
last night and it is alleged that
bolita also opened up. One per
son showed me the numbers
which came OUT last night. They
were 10, q and SO. To be very
frank about this business and not
consider either the ministerial or
the gambler groups at either end
of this question, the talk around
town is that gambling will be
closed and opened at intervals
and that periodic raids will be
made upon the establishments
which will bring money directly
to the city's Golfers. Incidental
ly, probably the first of the new
monies the city is expecting to
get will be applied to police and
fire department salaries, thus do
ing away with any stigma of a
police force which may take "cer-
tain apples off certain fruit
stands" The present police chief
is making an earnest effort to
keep the force clean and is driv-
ing after more and more material
for his men.

RECALL PETITION

Another rumor which is making
the rounds today states that there
is recall petition being circulat-
ed around which has 700 names
on it. We have checked quite a
bit this morning on this rumor
and have found no fire to all the
smoke. The rurr1or stated that
the recall petition was directed
against three of the commission
ers and of course this would mean
the three commissioners which
have the majority in the COM
mission at present. But checking
here and there, the only informa-
ton l can dig up is that prob
ably" a recall petition will be
circulated after six months as di-
rected against Commissioner w.
c. Sweeeting. The charter states
that you must have IS percent of
the registered voters sign the re-
call petition beofre proceedings
can be started and that only after
six months, Then, too, comes the
really important point. The pc
titioners must prove that there
are grounds for dismissal.
