The attached Amendment to the South Bend
At Large
FRANK HORVATH
Licensing Ordinance, which licences amusement
At Large
arcade devices, corrects an oversight in the
present ordinance, in that, the City of South
Bend does not presently license pinball.machines
and electronic games of skill.
I believe that this ordinance is necessary
in order to collect additional revenues for the
City of South Bend; and, will provide an addi-
tional control on amusement arcades.
I hope for your favorable consideration
of this ordinance.
Very truly yours, �-
