ORDINANCE NO. 501 AMENDING SECTION 6213.19 OF MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO CONDUCT OF BINGO GAMES Henry Abts, Treasurer of the American Lung Association of L. A. County, spoke about the importance of allowing the Lung Association to have Bingo Games more often than once a week as Ordinance #501 would limit. Mayor Taylor stated that he realized how much good the Lung Association has done controlling respiratory diseases and this ordinance is not being considered to restrict the Lung Associa- tion but as an overall control of the conduct of Bingo games. Councilman Hunter stated that a compromise of three days a week might be more equitable. Councilman Imperial stated that no organization should be allowed special consideration, all have the same rights, and having games for more than one night a week would not be a fund raiser but a business. Councilman Tury stated that he thought 2 nights a week would be a suitable amount, and with five organizations having Bingo games that would be about 40 nights a month for the fund raising, and that way it would not be turning Bingo into a busi- ness.
