Statement By Mayor Grant Last - Monday evening a special meeting of the Council was .called to consider the passing of a resolution authorizing the instituting of mandamus manda-mus proceedings in the State Supreme Su-preme Court to compel the mayor to lga.T the .Pool Hall odlnance At tne meeting a suggestion was made, as a compromise, that the mayor sign the ordinance and that It be published, and then that it remain re-main in-operative until the fall municipal muni-cipal election at which time the vote of the people will be taken on it. Such a course would save considerable consider-able expense to the city, and it was felt that the money could be spent to much better advantage in other ways. To the credit of the councilman favoring the pool hall ordinance, I wish to say that they agreed in fair ness to both sides of the controversy that the city bear the entire expense of the court action Including the attorneys' at-torneys' feeg on . both sides, and while I appreciated this liberal attitude, atti-tude, at the same time such a thing would mean additional expense to the taxpayers Of the city. After taking all these things into consideration, I have concluded that wnat would oe gained, wmcn ever way the courts might decide, would not be commensurate with the trouble and. expense involved. It is my con elusion, therefore, to sign the ordinance ordin-ance so that It may - be published. thereby saving expense to the city, and paving the way for a referendum vote in the fall. In the meantime it 1$ the. understanding that the ordin ance will remain Inoperative and no pool table licenses will be Issued.
