Stamford City Council has in*
structed City Attorney Jack
Watson to draft an ordinance
banning pool halls here, but will
continue to study the pool hall
question And perhaps legalise
them at a later date.
The action was taken at a Fri-
day afternoon session. Decision
to havd the anti-pool hall
put the billiard center out of
'business immediately. .
The prospect of someone put-
ting in s pool hall here before
a set of rules and regulations
governing them could be adop
ted was the main reason the
council decided for the prohibt-
ing ordinance.
Pool halls took up almost all
the meeting time. Other action
taken, included establishing a
maximum salary for the libra-
rian, and approval for paying
the mouth's bills.
