An Ordinance to license, tax and regulate certain games and mechanical devices used therein; and declaring an emergency was read the first time, and Councilmen Simon and Bond opposed certain sections of this ordinance, namely, that of not having an annual license for the distributor of the machine. Various licenses were suggested, ranging from $15.00 to $100.00 per year." Councilman Carlson opposed this very strongly, pointing out the fact that $2.00 per month that this ordinance provides was all the traffic could bear, and that an increase in the fee would automatically bring about a decrease in the machines operated and thereby decrease the city's revenue. Councilman Simon moved that this ordinance be amended as follows; An annual distributor's license fee of $10.00 for a maximum of 10 machines, and $1.00 for each machine above the 10, payable in advance. The ~,,~ motion was seconded and the ayes and nays were called, Councilmen voting aye 6, nay Carlson, absent Zumwalt.

His motion was seoonded and carried, and the Ordinance was read again the second and third time by title under suspension of the rule by the unanimous consent of the Council, and was placed upon its final passage. The ayes and nays were called, Councilmen voting aye 7, nay none, absent Zumwalt. The Ordinance as 'amenaed was declared passed and numbered 8425. I .
