<br />Upon motion, the ordinance passed to its second and third readings by unanimous
<br />consent of the council by suspension of the rules and was placed for, final passage.
<br />Councilmen voting aye: Lamb, Hanns, Bond and Carlson; nay, Hendershott, Reid and
<br />Farrington; absent, Page. Due to the fact that there was not a two-thirds majority
<br />voting in the affirmative, the Recorder stated that the ordinance could not become
<br />effective for a period of thirty days as provided by charter and asked the council
<br />regarding the status of the machines during that period of time. Councilman Carlson
<br />asked that an ordinance be prepared for passage at this time to license pinball
<br />machines until the Ordinance just passed (No.. 8529) went into eff'ect. It was de-
<br />cided that each distributor shall pay a license fee of twenty dollars for each
<br />machine for a period terminating February 11, 1938, after which no licenses shall
<br />be granted, provided, however, that in case the operation of pinball machines shall
<br />be declared illegal by the Supreme'Court between the time of the passage of this
<br />proposed ordinance and February 11, 1938 that no refund shall be allowed for the
<br />$20.00 license fee per machine paid in at this time. Harry Johnson raised the ques-
<br />tion as to whether the councilman who was indirectly interested in pinball machines
<br />should be allowed to participate in the voting. Mayor Large stated that the pro-
<br />posed ordinance had been approved by the majority of the council and that there was
<br />no further question for discussion.. An ordinance to license, tax and regulate cer-
<br />tain games and me~hanical devices used therein and declaring an, emergency had its
<br />first reading and passed to its second and third readings by unanimous consent of
<br />the coumcil by suspension of the rules and was placed for final passage. The ayes
<br />and nays were called, councilmen voting aye: Lamb, Hendershott, Reid, Hanns, Far-
<br />rington, Bond and Carlson; nay, none; absent, Page. The ordinance was declared
<br />passed and numbered 8530.
