Show . - - i, --, Shall the Ordinances Remain as they are Tho question of granting or not granting a pool hall Ilccnsu Is Just now agitating this community prob. ably more than any other question nt present. Tho policy and management of this pnpor Is against tho opening of pool .hulls, however, wo nro willing to grant that tho City Council, In its recent action, acted from the most honorablo motive. Wo iiIbo bollove that It Is a question on which honest men may differ, aud for this reason have permitted arguments to appear In our columns on both sides of the quostlon. Nearly ovoryono you meet hns pronounced pro-nounced volws on tho mattor, though many have not yet decided tho quostlon quos-tlon In their minds. Iicfore tho llccnso voted nt tho lust sosslon of tho Council Coun-cil cnit bo mado effective, it will be necessary for tho CouncU to moot und repeal tho present city ordinance on the matter nnd thou puss n new ono. Dcforo this Is done, it Is probablo that potltlous for and against tho granting of n lleonsa will bo wldoly circulated, and presented to tho City Council. Citizens nro taking sides on tho piattor and It Is probablo that both petitions will bo Humorously signed. With tho bombnrdinont that Is going on from both sides, tho position posi-tion of being a city councilman Is not a particularly desirable one. |
