3. Since some one or more of the clubs conducting betting under the principal Ordinance have introduced the plan of selling books of ten tickets for the price of nine, shops and commission agents have found the purchase of such books, with a view to reselling their contents singly, a profitable line of business, which has resulted in tickets being offered for sale in various stores and in the hawking of them round offices and business premises.
4. The effect of the Bill will not be to prevent the sale of books of tickets at a discount, but it will enable the Commissioner of Police to limit the number of places at which tickets may be sold and to bring the method of sale under greater control.
January, 1939.
C. G. ALABASTER,
Attorney General.
