Another piop<i,sal that had been un

was treated in a report submitted by
the committee on church union, which
informed the assenibly that four of

The act in one section make.s it un
lawful to keep on one’s- premises any
slot machine, punch board, or pull

or a $500 fine, i
“FYom thi.s date on, law officers arej

it was pointed out in connection with
the announcement, as Attorney Gen-'

involving an effort to legalize the op
