STOP THE BOLITA

Following indictments of 10 persons by the grand
jury for possession of gambling stamps the Miami City
Commission on Wednesday unanimously passed resolu-
on calling for investigation of purchasers of gambling
laws
Commissioner William Wolfarth introduced the reso-
luton and Commissioner Perrne Palmer Jr seconded it.
Commissioner Leslie Quigg questioned the legality of
arrests for merely possessing gambling stamps
Mayor Chelsie J. Senerchia said the action is notice
to local gamblers to shut up shop and also to anyone
coming down to Miami this winter with ideas of going into
the gambling business.
Apparently Miami will be closed city as far as
gambling is concerned
We will be on the sidelines watching the plays.
What understood and will under
stand is branch of the government selling people
gambling stamps another branch prosecuting them if
they these stamps. Are both branches correct.
Fifteen of the 11O indicted have surrendered and
posted bonds.

Naknek Public Utility District Ruled Invalid By Third District Court

ANCHORAGE, (P) A ruling handed down by Judge George w. Folta in Third District Court Monday marked the end of the Naknek Public Utility District. 7
 Judge Folta ruled the P.U.D. had been invalidly created be- cause majority of the voters did not favor creation of the district. Folta pointed out that five ballots which were marked against in- corporation of the district, but for certain candidates to the board, had been thrown out by election officers.
 "The record fails to disclose why the five votes were rejected, but it may be. surmised the cleo tion officers concluded that those who voted against incorporation had no right to express a choice of candidates for the board of directors and that, therefore, these ballots should not be counted" Judge Folta's opinion stated.
 The ruling came on a summary judgment brought by four Bristol Bay packers in an action seeking to prevent the P.U.D.'s directors from levying tax on their pro- perties.
 Judge Folta pointed out that had the five votes against incor- poration of the district been counted as they should have been, it would have resulted in a tie vote and the district could not have been formed.
