Ice Vender
Patents Granted
II
LOS ANGELE8--Patents covering
an ice vending machine which vends
a cake of ice in a carton upon inser-
tion of a quarter, were granted by
the Patents Department in Washing-
ton the past month.
The patents were issued to George
E. Trench and assigned to the Cen-
tral Ice and Cold Storage Co., Hunt-
ington Park, Calif.
'
Several of the ice vending machines
are on location in various parts of
the metropolitan area and all of them
seem to be doing excellent business.

The Cascade County poor fund was
enriched by $8.50 last month, accord-
ing to the Great Falls Tribune, when
a . slot machine, which had been
seized by the police, was destroyed in
the presence of Justice of the Peace
Christie and the contents of the ma-
chine credited to the poor fund. The
machine was the first to be seized
and destroyed for some time. Since
January I, upwards of 30 slot ma-
chines have been seized and de-
stroyed by county and city officers.
Usurpation of community rights by
the passage of state legislation, par-
ticularly the Montana law which pre-
vents a community from taxing or
regulating gambling within its boun-
daries, was flayed by muniCipal offi-
cers who spoke before the annual
convention of the city government
welfare association in Great Falls the
past month. "Our larger cities today
rate gambling as one of their more
thriving . industries. Everyone knows
it, and admits it. Yet, because of a
state law, we can't tax the business.
We can't stop jt, because in theory
that is supposed to be done by state
officials," Edwin Lamb. Butte city
attorney, stated.
