W. J. Daly communication. Accompanying the presentation of the said ordinance was a communication from City Attorney Daly, which was read as followrs, to -wit: Port 'Townsend, Washington, Nov. 16, 1937 Honorable Mayor and City Council of the City of Port Townsend Gentlemen: At the request of the Mayor I transmit herewith a proposed form of ordinance repealing the old "pin ball. ordinance" and substituting the attached in lieu thereof. You will note that I hate incorporated language which will make this ordinance effect- ual January 1, 1938. In view of the fact that certain interested persons have contacted me with the request that operation of pin ball games be limited only to places where minors are not permitted, I desire to call this fact to your attention in order that free debate may be had by the Council before the ordinance is passed. In certain towns using a similar ordinance I find that some have used the identical language in the proposed ordinance, while others have used language prohibiting the use of the machines to persons over the age of eighteen. Very truly yours, W. J. Daly, City Attorney. No action this session. There being no motion to consider the ordinance at this session, it automatically goes over to the next regular meeting of the Council. Recess.
