One of the most serious of these is the gaming device known popularly as the "punch board. As citizens of this community knowing that a law exists prohibiting their use, we feel duty bound to enter complaint against any individual, company, or set of individuals, who violate this law as stated In Section 8153, chapter 33, session laws of Utah, 1917, and intend so to do when such punch boards be found in operation after Christmas night, December 25th, 1920.

Before the time expired, however representations were made by the business men involved that they had nvested so much money in this type of merchandise, which they claim Is not saleable other than with the punch board, and Mayor Snell assured them that no action would be taken by the city until January 1st after which he stated no punch boards will be operated in the town The committee of citizens feel that the mayor In so ordering .has been guided by business policy rath er than the welfare of the people genrally, but they appreciate very much hts positive stand against the punch boards after January 1st when it is expected that the present stock will be exhausted. While the letters mailed out contained the threat of complaints unless the law is complied with, the citizens are willing to work through the city officials and support them in removing this evil, and will not lead out at this time. However, they wish distinctly understood that the movement now started Is not an in sipld one, nor will It die out because of opposition.
