SAUSALITO, Oct. 20.—The peace so confidently expected when the pool rooms | ceased operations here for the winter has proved a dream. Joe Harvey removed his gambling paraphernalia to San Fran- cisco, leaving $600 license fee unpald, and the résultant row originating among the Board of Town Trustees has been aug- mented by a howl from the taxpayers, “Hill tribe” and ‘“‘water front” for once making common cause over what has al- ways been a bone of contention. When Broyer and Glynn removed from here for the winter that firm was given an interest in Harvey’'s concern. Harvey was granted a quarterly license two woeks ago and conducted his business five days over the last quarter. Marshal Hannon was sent to him to collect the 3300 license fee, but Harvey delayed pay- ment until he concluded to move. Trus- tee Crumpton was very angry at this pro- cedure and had Trustee Sylva see Harvey, who sald he would leave it to the boar whether he should pay or not.

It is probable a spe- cial meeting of the board will be called to grapple with the problem.
