MR. MAIHLES Mr. Maihles asked the Attorney if the ordinance would
stand in court, asking if he felt it was a good ordi-
nance. The Attorney said yes, it was as strong an
ordinance as could be drafted at this point; which

of attempting to find the answer. Mr. Reed asked how
a policeman was going to be able to tell. Mr. Russell
expressed concern for the cost to city taxpayers to
enforce the ordinance.
