Council Turns 8 Ball Down On Petition The city council held its regular meeting Wednesday night and wire faced with request to legalize for juveniles a place of business in which the state law forbids minors to enter. The business in question is an establishment known as the “8” Ball which caters to customers of the teen age class. City officials upon the advise of their attorney rejected the petition for legalizing the busi ness for the youth on the ground that it would be useless for the city to pass any law in opposition with the state of Oregon. It would be ob- viously invalidated. The state law, which forbids any minor from enter ing a recreational establishment de signed for the playing of pool, snooker, or billiards, is not new and has been in effect for some time. It has not been enforced for lack of better recreational facilities for the teen agers. Also in Wednesday’s council meet ing, Ray Rich, recent city patrolman gave the city council a petition stat ing: We, the undersigned wish to see Mr. Rich re-instated as a police patrol officer for the City of Mill City. We would also like to state that we believe that he has con ducted himself in an excellent man- ner while he was on the force. The petition was signed by numer ous high school youths. Mr. Rich who recently resigned from the force was hired some six months ago on a trial basis.
