" Your committee has had under consideration the matter of the licensing of vending machines, Ordinance No. 1, 1931, Sec. 13; and Ordinance No. 8, 1947, and sul:Jmi ts its :report and recmmnenda;tton <1,s fol .tows:
We have examined statutes,' especially Ch. 129, Sec. 53, .Acts of 1905, which ::}Utho:rize c:i. ties to 1 iceuse, tax, aml :regulate various kinds of t ~ades, employments, activities, !'laeh:Lnes, devices, and places.
There is uo doubt in_ou:r minds tllB,t the city has authority' ·to license, tax or :regule,te places, machines, or devices for sports, games, entertauunent, and :related activiillies but we seriously 1loubt whether this city o:r !J,ny oth e:r city in the state is authorized by s-tatute to 1¥'1ry special license fees o:r taxes on all the other kinds of vendors o:r vending machtnes included in the above cited o:rdim,nces.
Your commi ·ttee, the:ref ore, :recommends that the City Attorney l:Je instructed to prepare ordinances to accomplish the following purposes:
1. To repeal Seoi>ion lJ of O:nlinance i'fo• 1, 19Jl1J1, and OrdI nance No. 8 1947.
2. To require that machines or devices used for ent(~:rtainment, amuse ment, and the like shall be :reported to the Chief of Police.
We see no immediate need fen· add:i. t;_onal 1:egulatory or taxing measures. If in the future, ci:rcmnstancos seem ·to warrant such meai:m.:res, we recommenc that the Counc:i.l consHle:r enacting an o:rdim1nce p:&1ma:rily for regul- ation rather than for raising :revenue.
