Gambling Lid is
On Again in City
As Council Acts
City fathers unanimous in action
following speeioI meeting held
late last week-Msrshsl given
word TO make order effective.

NOf0 10 Hlukt OlOSf Sl'S~''S'
The lid went on gambling
again in Coolidge this week.
Decision that Coolidge was TO
be closed" town came at spe-
eial meeting OF the city council
late last week 10 which the public
was barred as members of the
council sought 10 determine views
81 one another.
At the close OF the session the
councilmen were unanimous in
their vote that games of chance
would not be permitted az a pri-
vaie business within The city lin
It's and city marshal Jack Morri-
son was instructed TO order all
poker and dice tables closed.
The question OF whether or not
gambling should be permitted
within the ciy limits has been
discussed b. nearly every person
living Ia Coolidge since incorpora-
don more than year ago Some
members OF the council are known
10 believe that prohibition OF
gambling in Coolidge viii only
lead TO opening OF gambling places
on the outskirts OF the city where
city officers would have no con-
rol
IL is also known that two MEM
bers OF the council were unalter-
able in their position that gam
bling in Coolidge should be pro-
hibited and could in no wise be
condoned by the council.
II has been privately argued
that gambling, being an age old
vice OF mankind, cannot be
stopped: that folks will gamble
somewhere and because of this
belief that the council should not
be too harsh. Those who believe
this to be true advocated a sys-
tenn of fines declaring that city
revenues could be increased by as
much as $4,000 annually.
A similar order was issued sew
eral months ago by the then may
or. Paul Hannah and no gambling
was in evidence within the city
until late in October.
