The vote on said Resolution was as follows: Commissioners Thomas, Hansell and German and His Honor the Mayor voting Aye. Noes none." Vote on said Resolution was as follows: Commissioners German, Thomas, Hansell and His Honor the Mayor voting Aye. Noes none. On motion of Commissioner W. C. German seconded by Commissioner R. W. Thomas the following Preambles and Resolution were duly adopted: Whereas six gaming licenses under Ordinance No. 165 of this City (exclusive of lic­enses solely for slot machines) have already been issued in the City of Las Vegas, or a provision for about one licensed gaming house (exclusive of places where slot machines only are operated) to every one thousand five hundred (1500) of our population. Now Therefore Be It Resolved by the Board of Commissioners of the City of Las Vegas that it is the sense of this Board that public interest requires that no further gaming licenses (other than licenses solely for the operation of slot machines and for additional games, st the location for which license is already granted, under provisions of Section 9 of said Ordinance No. 165 ) An Ordinance to prohibit gaming and operation of slot machines in the City of Las Vegas, without first obtaining a license therefor, regulating the same fixing the amount of such license, providing a penalty therefor, repealing ordinances Nos. 77, 82, 88, 103 and 115, and all Ordinances and parts of Ordinances in conflict therewith." be granted in this city in the excess of the number already granted, until the further order of this Board and until the further or other gaming licenses (other than licenses solely for the operation of slot machines) are reasonably necessary for the accomodation of the public and the granting of such further or other licenses will not contravene public interest and will not require an excessive amount of police protection for a city of the size of Las Vegas, Nevada, having in mind the funds provided for police protection under the City's 1931 and 1932 Budgets heretofore adopted and the state of the city funds ap­plicable to police protection. Vote on said motion was as follows: Commissioners German, Thomas, and Hansell and His Honor the Mayor voting Aye. Noes none.

Boyer for gaming licenses to be operated under at No. 217 North First Street in the City of Las Vegas, County of Clark, State of Nevada, be and the same is hereby denied for the reason that under Ordinance No. 165 of said City six gaming licenses (exclusive of licenses issued solely for the operation of slot machines) have already been issued in the City, some of which are near said location and upon careful consideration of the question, we believe that public interest requires that no additional licenses (other than licenses solely for the operation of slot machines and for additional games, at the location for which license is already granted, under the provisions of section 9 of said Ordinance No. 165) Sec. 9. Any licensee holding a valid existing license from the City of Las Vegas and from the County of Clark, State of Nevada, for a current quarter may, during such cur­rent quarter secure a license for additional slot machines, games and devices as the case may be, over and above the particular number of slot machines, games or devices for which he, they or it holds a license, for the remainder of the quarter by paying to the City Clerk the license fee above provided, for the additional particular slot machine, game or device, as the case may be, and for which the City Clerk shall issue an additional license for the remainder of the quarter, and the additional license shall be upon the same terms and conditions as though issued under the provisions of Section 8 of this Ordinance) be granted in this city in excess of the number already granted, until the further order of this board and until further or other gaming licenses (other than licenses solely for the operation of slot machines) are reasonably necessary for the accomodation of the public and the granting of such further and other licenses will not contravene public interest and will not require an excessive amount of police protection for a city of the size of Las Vegas, Nevada, having in mind the funds provided for police protection under the City's 1931 and 1932 Budgets heretofore adopted and the state of the city funds applicable to police protection.
