Orders to get the machines out and keep them out were issued by Chief of Police Harry S. Anderson with additional orders to confiscate all machines found in operation within 48 hours. Chief Anderson said he may take the same action against punch boards as soon as he determines their legal status. There has been some doubt expressed in some courts as to whether they come within the scope of the gambling law, Chief Anderson added, and he would seek a definite opinion before taking action. In his own mind, he explained, he believes the boards are unlawful and gambling devices, but he will be guided in his actions by the ruling of the courts.
