Safety Board Plans Smash at Race Bets and Lotteries
The Indianapolis Safety Board proposed two ordinances to curb gambling. One bans possession for sale of lottery or baseball pool tickets and related records, with penalties up to $300 fine and six months imprisonment. The second forbids sending or receiving bet information by telephone or telegraph within the city. Both aim to block wagering on horse races and games, guiding a city council review next week. Deery noted an old statute defines a poolroom as a single room, affecting venues with divided gambling spaces.
