Mr. Van requested that the Board continue their cooperation in dealing with members of the printers union. He also asked that the Board request the union seal on all printed matter. His Honor informed Mr. Van that whenever possible union members were asked to do work for the City, but if printed matter were presented for bid, the Board had no authority to see that Union printers received the award of the bid unless their bid was low. Mr. Van stated that he appreciated that fact, but was only asking the Board to request the union label from union printers. His Honor said, speaking for the Board, he was sure that they were glad to cooperate in any way possible. THE WESTERNER - Gaming V. Gray Gubler, Esq. was present representing Catherine & John Horden in their application for a gaming license for the Westerner. Mr. Gubler stated that the Hordens appreciated the suggestion of the Board that they might obtain a beverage license and slot machine license, but that would be insufficient to support them unless they had either a tavern license or a Race Horse Book license in addition. After considerable discussion relative to the nec­essity of either amending or revoking the existing resolution governing the issuance of gaming licenses Commissioner Clark expressed his views on this resolution. Commissioner Clark stated that this resolution had been put into effect to assist the gaming industry, and as far as he was concerned would remain unless the people expressed a desire to have this resolution stricken from the books.
