Comte objected to indefinite postpone- ment on the ground that the board would be derelict in its duty if some legislation was not adopted aga “The ordinances are sweeping in their provislons, I must admit,” “but it is not possible to reach only par- ticular gambling places.” Tobin, In explaining the report of the committee, said that the ob{ec( of the or- dinances could be accomplished by the Police Commissioners refusing to grant a license to any place where gambling was conducted in a disorderly manner. “The Police ‘Commission,” sald Tobln, “had sought to cast the responsibility of stopping gambling on the board. Thé or- dinance is supposedly directed against the gambling in the Cafe Royal and it has not been proven that gambling is con- ducted in a disorderlv manner in that lace.” pCO:nte sald the board could not afford to shift the responsitility of restricting gambling. ““There is no such thing as the orderly conduct of a gambling place such as tha Cafe Royal,” said Comte. “I move that the matter be reféerred again to the Po- lice Committee with Instructions to re- ot ~ This motion was lost and the vote on the indefinite postponement of the ordi- nance was: Ayes—Boxton, Brandenstein, hart, Connor, Curtis, D'Ancona, Hotaling, McCarthy, ~Staffor Wilson, Reed.
