Taylor left for an extended business trip
covering Chicago, Milwaukee and New
York on behalf of Bell-O-Matic, Mills In-
dustries, and International Mutoscope.
Pin games were much in the public eye
last month, the publicity bringing plenty
of satisfaction to pin game operators and
distributors.
Here is the good news: the Seattle city
counc il reve rsed an earlier policy under
whi ch it refused to grant pin ball license
applications and adopted a new policy
under which it began approving such
licenses on a restricted basis and "with
discretion."
Councilman James Scavotto, chairman
of the council's license committee, said
particular consideration would be given
applications for devices to be placed in new
businesses which do not now have them.
Last winter the council passed an ordin-
ance providing that no person could hold
more than 200 licenses for amusement
devices. There is now but one person-
C. W. Bolin-with 200 licenses, Scavotto
said, while four persons have more than 100
-Sigel and Marcus, with 186; John J.
Michael, 140; Keiter, Watson and Katz,
J 27; Hawthorne and Mondschein, 112.
The license commi ttee approved issuance
of 65 amusement device licenses in one
sitting, bringing to 2,183 the number of
pin ball games licensed for local operation.
The licenses we re issued as follows:
Brashem and Stept, three licenses;
Robert Van Santen, four; Keiter, Watson
and Katz, two; Frank C. Moore, eight;
Art Ruppel , seven; Henry Christensen,
three; C. L. Malone, two; Frank Countner,
five; Sam Eskanazy, three; LamoreaU,,:
and Dawson, one; Mike Nenezich two·
Paul Lewis, three ; Roy Erickson'. one;
Ch_ester and George Heberling, seven;
Brnmer and Leovich, 14.
Port Angeles has rejected an amendment
to its pin ball ordi nance which would have
allowed operators to obtain machines from
out-of-town distributors. Operators now
must buy from the city's two licensed
distributors, who pay a fee of $2,500 a
year for 60 machines and $50 for each
machine above 60.
