- Mrs. UcCown said it is a fact that their rates are comparable with others, but the amusement device fee is out of line. She noted they will pay between $4,000 and $4,400 to the City and double that to the State. When they introduced the problem to the City, they had two alternatives - either encourage all those with amusement device licenses to come before the City or to appeal for an arcade license which would affect them alone. Others having amusement device licenses did not care to come before the City with the McCowns because the amusement device machines are only a small part of their ~ncome. Mrs. McCown feels that, if the City chooses to study the overall problem, it might take a long period of time. In the meantime they are paying another $4,000 worth of licenses come July 1. What they are requesting, then, is an arcade license. Mr. Martin said the Finance Director hopes to get back to the Council by the first of June which will allow time to respond to the McCown's concerns.
