Knight of Steamboat, is displeased with Reno police.

In a report Wednesday, Knight, owner of the University Laundromat, said coin machines at the establishment have been emptied at frequent intervals. The first few times the thieves got as much as $60 per entry. Later they obtained only $2 or $3. Knight said he reported the incident to the patrolman on the beat and asked for a close watch. To check the matter, he went to the building and removed a coin machine from the wall.

The missing container was not reported by the policeman. Knight protested. In June, a coin dispenser was pryed from the wall. It was taken to the police statical for fingerprints. However.

Bureau of Identification personnel reportedly told the 'laundromat owner they were to busy to check the container and told him to take it back with him, the irate owner said. Police also failed to investigate the shooting of holes in his windows.

Scheduled to talk to the three will give the needed impetus and reason for the construction of luxury hotels in that area; many have been on the drawing boards for years. As we all know, numerous well-financed groups have purchased large pieces of acreage with the end view in mind of building luxury hotels, but haven't done so to date because they haven't been stimulated into action, but a convention hall in the area would give that stimulus. 7. The limited acreage on Mill Street makes expansion in future years impossible. If our population growth continues and larger auditorium facilities were needed you couldn't expand them on Mill Street.

3. Shortsightedness on future planning will be disastrous. We don't want another State Building 30 years from now, but must plan now for expansion later with adequate acreage. 4. Present Mill Street plans call for 2,000 seats.

This is inadequate; 5,000 seats are necessary now if we are to hold any major cultural, athletic, civic, charitable or political events for the people of this area. For example, Reno High School auditorium seats the University of Nevada gymnasium Emerald Bay High Level Route Backed requested aid was turned down. CITV HAS MONEY Both Mirabelli and Commissioner Robert Clarkson insisted the city had $130,000 in its recreation fund "as of Wednesday," and that it could afford to pick up the entire tab on the rebuilding project, to which it has already committed $52,000. They added the county had previously relinquished $30,000 from its county fair and recreation funds to help Reno install a new boiler room at the Moana swimming pool.

These problems are not present on outside acreage. 12. Financial responsibility: never lose sight of the fact that we can only spend $4,500,000. The cost of the Mill Street Site at an estimated $2,000,000 makes it impossible to build a decent auditorium for the use of Washoe County residents. 13.

Rea said that some policemen working night shifts have not been informed of all the details of the proposed six per cent boost each year for the next three years. He said also that there can be assurance only that one of the proopsed increases will become effective, since the members of the present Reno City Council cannot commit themselves to pay scales effective beyond their present terms of office. He also pointed out that the proposal calls for a cut in vacation time instead of the increase the policemen are asking for.
