However, at its meeting last week council hesitated to enact the bylaw referring it back to the operations committee. The bylaw would only have been in force when more than"50 per cent of a store's floor space was devoted to the use of pinhali machines. Youngsters wouid stili have been able to play the machines in restaurants, bowling alleys and other facilities that are not designed primarily as pin- bail parlors. The referai was due to some councillors' concerns that the regulation would not have been legal although they had been informed that the City of Oshawa has had such a law on the books for a few years. Oshawa's bylaw prohibits anyone under the age of 14 to use the machines in a parlor unless they are in the com- pany of a parent or guar- dian.

He added that he would like to see the opinion made public. The legality of the Oshawa bylaw has neyer been tested in the courts because a pinball parlor operator has neyer been charged. Hugh Crouch, Oshawa's solicitor, said that when the bylaw was drafted there were few Canadian precedents for it and that it is legal until a court rules that it is not. Another member of the youth bureau, Constable Nancy Mclntyre, said that the department would also like the Oshawa regulation revised to include those who are 16 and under. "It would take away a lot 0f juvenile crime," she said adding that sometimes youngsters steal from. businesses and homes to get money for pinball. c î Wben you speed, you waste $$and ga',oiine. m -9: le a win., m
