<br />Attorney Frank Reid addressed the Council concerning the local darto game,
<br />and pointed out that Mr. McDonald, proprietor, had done his very best to conduct
<br />the fame in a very decent manner. However, d~e to the fact ~hat darto games

<br />to make the following proposition: First, orally extend the payment of another
<br />years license fee if everything was satisfactory locally, and second, that the
<br />game would be closed from now on if the Council would agree to return the unused
<br />portion of the fee that he has already paid. Councilman Harris moved that Mr.
<br />McDonald be given the unused portion of his fee. This was seconded by Councilman
<br />Simon. Councilman Zumwalt then asked why they were quiting before their time was
<br />up, and Mr. Reid stated that they did not have to quit, but wished to do so before
