<br />The subject of DARTO games was brought up before the Council at this time,
<br />and Attorney Calkins reported that in his opinion a monopoly cannot be created,
<br />but othervvise, due to.the action of the recent State Legislature, the said game is
<br />to be considered legal. Mr. Hardy, Attorney for Mr. McDonald, took exception to ~
<br />City Attorney Calkin's statement as to what constituted a monopoly, and talkedql
<br />against granting a license to outside interests. Mr. Immel, Attorney representing .~~
<br />Mr. A. F. Winter and others, stated that the granting of a license for a game of
<br />this sort was purely a means of revelme, and .that if the Council wanted to limit
<br />the number of games to be licensed in the City, then the Council should call for
<br />bids, and stated that his clients were ready to bid any time on that basis. He
<br />decried the fact that the Councilor Chamber of Commerce or any other public party
<br />should act against the bringing in of outside capital for the development of the
<br />City's business. Frank Reid, Attorney also representing Mr. McDonald, restated the
<br />case in fa vor of hi s client and emphasi zed the charac ter of Mr. McDonald and that
<br />he was a local man. It would pay a nice revenue, and that the City should take
<br />advantage of it. Mr. Immel then offered $1200.00 a year license fee in behalf of
<br />his client. The Council then considered an ordinance covering this game, and
<br />after considerable discussion the following Ordinance was read: An Ordinance to
<br />license and regula te dart games in the ci ty of Eugene, was read the first time and
<br />passed i ts second and third readings by. ti tIe under suspension 0 f the rule by the
<br />unanimous consen t of the' Counc il, and was placed upon it s final passage. The ayes
<br />and nays were called, Councilmen voting aye 8, nay none, absent none. The Ordi-
<br />nance was declared passed and numbered 8410, and the Recorder was instructed to
<br />issue an,annual license to Donalf F. McDonald for $600.00 to operate a Darto Game
<br />in l1'ugen e.
