with the Board of Trustees to the end that an ordinance be passed prohibiting back rooms in any
Poolroom or other public place where gambling might be carried on unseen, and further that frox
doors of such places should be of glass so ss to permit a full view from the street of all
occupants of the places.

licensing all soft drink places, and poolrooms, claiming it gave police Jurisdiction over such
