We will drive these parasites out .of town.” | The Mayor said that there is an old anti-gambling ordinance which has not been enforced of late yurs!. because of the general sentiment| against an entirely closed town, most feeling that two-bit games among | men at leisure were of no particu- | lar detriment, but when professional gamblers loot the paychecks of working men when they should go to pay their grocery bills and pro- | vide for their families, it is time to call a halt, he declared. High Stakes Several instances were cited by the Councilmen where games ran to| several hundred dollars and others of men under the influence of li- quor being robbed by gamblers making change.
