The Acting City Attorney explained that under the present Ordinance it is illegal to have in oneTs possession lottery �ickets which have not yet been played - that under the new 5tate latv it is illegal to have in ane�4 possession lottery tickets not yet played or those which have been pl� ed. He staved that there is in the City Code a section which covers gambling and offenses of this nature but that there i:� no section allotiving the 1Tolice force to eni'orce the law re- garding possession of lottery tickets or si�ilas gamblin�. He said he thought such s law would 'be advantageous, in that it gives the City Police authority to a�rrest i�rnnediately under the provisions of our Ordznance any violations of this la�v, and then after discussion with State authorities, the person can be turned o�er to tha Strate for prosecutio� if this is desired. biayor Bror�n stated that he felt there �vas need for this leuislation if we w ish to main+ain the excellent reputation v�e have earned in the State regarding no gambling.

He recoimnencled that nir. t�latkins' request be granted for lower license fee. Com- missioner Blanton, also member of the Occupational License Cornmit�ee, said that other licenses had been issued on a sliding scale and that this should be adjusted to be compatible with this business.
