City urged to run marble boards in Fort Worth
Fort Worth City Manager George J. Fairtrace urged municipal ownership of marble boards, arguing it could net about 540000 dollars yearly and improve welfare services. He responded to council questions as to handling private operators of about 2000 machines, while Texas courts decide the legality of gambling devices. Marble boards operate across the city, with nickel and quarter slot machines also shown at Frontier Centennial grounds and in night clubs.
