HEW DEAL FOR Cliy EXTENDS POOL PLACES COUNCIL PLAN License Committee to In V vestigate Reopening of Will Reissue Permits AirOtherWalls; HEARING DATE ON PAGE IMPROVEMENT LAKE 010DS, r'.rt; v- ' At tt)e suggestion of Mayor A. W. piie4'iff'er th attorney ,r'l resenting' the prlprietorH ot , the three Front street pool anil card rooms, whose licenses were re voked a week ago Monday and their bonds forfeited ' following their pleas of guilty and heavy fines In Justice court because they sold ' "bitters" or tonics by the glass, had appealed before the city i-ouncil In their behalf, thut body last night votd that they be granted new licenses, provided the council license committee at- an Investigation begun today, found that they would comply with all laws and ordinances. At the' same time the council ilcided to recall all the licenses of all other pool and card rooms of the city, and along; with the three In Question reissue them ' under a new Or nmendud ordi nance approved last -night which, In addition to containing all clauses In the old one regarding regulation of gambling, card play ing and the like, contains a new clause forbidding the sale of in toxicating liquors, in compliance - with federal,, state and municipal laws. It seems that the wording of the old licenses Issued did not exactly conform with the ordinance gov erning card and pool rooms, thru a clause being omitted in the license form, which prevents bond forfeitures for sale of intoxicants being collected. The new ordi nance regulutes this, and under it the bonds .can bo reullKd ' on when forfeited v . .' . .1 "A special meeting of the city council will be called to act. on the matter '-of granting .renewed .licenses'- under -the, new prdinunce to all card: and - pool rooms, ,," soon as the 'council Ucenso com mittee cdmpletes its 'Invostlgutlon.

Attorney rorter J. .Neff, In. hi" plea asking : that the threo of fendlBK pool and fnrd room pro prietors be granted new license, declared thnt the proprietors had already been sufficiently- punished through the heavy fines inflicted tin themselves fxnA their clerks in court, and the financial loss of over a week's business because of revoked licenses, anil said that they woujd promise': to comply with all state, federal and 'Munici pal laws, if granted new licenses, r He pointed out that the raiding of their places of business for selling hitters or tonics - by the glass was different from selling outright intoxicants, because the f: 8. government ' Itself licensed the sale of the so-called hitters to wholesale groceries, Jobbers and the like - . . .Mayor Pipes outlined Iho policy of himself and the council In being determined that the pool and card rooms must obey all laws. . and thnt the action bt the offend ing three continuing to sell hit ters after the - city administration had warned them fo stop It and comply with all laws was a flng rant violation, which loft the city round! no nthor alternative than to. revoke their licenses and tie-, cjare their bonds forfeited. However, the. mayor sutd he did itiot want to appear unfair and punish thorn' any further. If they meant to.- keep their promises to offend In no 'Way In the future, lie then suggested thnt all pool and card room- licenses be revoked and new licenses Issued under the new' or amended ordinance, if the council' license committee on (In vestigation recommended such ttc. flon.
