Problems For Police
Speaking as representative of
the Clinton Ministerial Associa-
tion, Rev. A. G. Eagle, of Ontario
Street United Church, addressed.
members of Council at the regular
meeting of -that body on Monday
evening, May 11, He proposed to
council, a resolution that council
instruct the police to enforce by-
laws which restrict selling of to-
bacco to youngsters. "There is a
prevalence of ten, 11 and 12 -year-
olds smoking on the streets. They
obtain tobacco from certain stores
in town,"
Coun, Agnew: There are a good
many outlets. Cigarettes are sent
home from grocery stores with the
regular grocery orders. .A lot of
the youngsters snitch smokes from
their parents. I know they don't
get it from me,
Rev. Eagle: We realize there is
no control possible of cigarettes
obtained in that mariner, How-
ever, some tobacconists, we know
for a fact, are selling to minors.
Councillor M. J. Agnew brought
forward the suggestion that the
existing by-law which stated a fee
of $50 collectible as licence on pin-
ball machines within the town,
and which had not been collected,
be reduced to $10, and the by-law
enforced.
Colin. Stanley: Feel that the
operation of pin -ball machines is
a mean way of getting money
from children. A youngster may
spend 35 .cents on one of those'
machines, and have nothing to
show for it,
Clerk Holland. The by-law is in.
existence. The Iicences fall due
on May 1, and I am prepared to,
send out notices;
Conn. Crich, I understand the
man who owns the machine gets.
fifty per cent of the proceeds, It
seems unfair to me that the man
who allows the machine tq be
placed on his premises should pay,
ail of the licence out of his 50
per cent.'
William Beckitt, St. Thomas; 1'
operate several of the machines in
Clinton. The licence is paid out
of the proceeds of the machine,
before the profits are split in half.
The company get the smallest'

the proceeds, to count it, and then.

T h e pin -ball machines are

There is no pay -out on them, nor -
has there been for years. If this;
by-Iaw as it stands is made of-•
fective, we would have to take out
all the machines in town. There
are some machines in operation in,
town that do not take in $50 in a.
year,.
Coun. Agnew. I'd make a mo-
tion that until the by-law is re-
vised the fee should be $10.
By-law No. 15 for 1953 was pas-
sed to amend By-law No. 8 for
1940 to read a fee of $10 in place
of the $50 fee imposed by the
original by-law.
