The Tayor called to the attention Council the unsightly places around
the island and said that they should be cleaned up, that he thought
it would be a good idea to place trash boxes at different points
on the island, especcially around the connession stands.
The question permitting some the various games to operate on the
island came up and the Mayor said that he did not see any objection
to games where the people got fair play and a run for their money
but that he was not not in favor of permitting gambling wheels, or
machines or any games where "buy - backs" were nade
The i;ayor asked the attitude of Council regarding motion pictures on
unday and the opinion of Council was that there was no ob4ection to
this form off recreation.
There being no further business Council adjourned subject to the call
of the Mayor.
