<br /> 'V~e, the undersigned citizens of the City of Portsmouth, apoeal to the
<br />officials of =o_r city to remember their oath of office to 'preserve, protect-and defend the
<br />Co~stitutiOnof any importance°f theinUnitedthe publicStateS'eye.' At this time the 18th' Amendment seems to be the only law

<br />Ers. 1.8. Ivy, ~812 Ohestnut St.
<br />
<br /> and s~undry others. '
<br />
<br /> Notion of ~r. Brooks to refer same to the City Manager-was adopted,
<br />
<br /> 2nd - 'I attach herewith au ordinance to amend and re-ordain an ordinance entitled
<br /> "An Ordinance to Amend and Re-ordain an Ordinance entitled 'An Ordinance Prescribing Rules and
<br /> Regulations Governing Municipal ~arke~s,, the adoption of which is recommended. The wording
<br /> of this ordinance has been approved by Mr~ Barclay, Oity Attorney.
<br /> The o_dznanoe prescribing ~alss and regulations governin~ municipal markets,
<br /> now in effect, was adopted on November 12th, 192~. Conditions have ohan~ed so since that time
<br /> that I consider it advisable to amend the ordinance to cover present conditions, in order to
<br /> permit a better operation of the markets. On the first of this month, I transferred the su-
<br /> pervision of the markets from the Director of Public Welfare to Er. W.L. Davis, and have ap-
<br /> pointed Mr. Davis Supt. of Markets, in addition to his other duties. Mr. Davis~s office ms
<br /> located in the market buildLug, and he o~u give necessary attention to this without interfer-
<br /> ing with his other duties, and this will relieve Dr. Roper so that he can devote more of his
<br /> time to medioaI and public health work, which is needed.~
<br />
<br /> adopted: .~otion of ~r. Hutohins to place the following ordinance on its first reading, was
<br /> "AN ORDINANOE TO AMEND AND RE-ORDAIY AN ORDINANOE ENTITLED 'AN ORDINANCE
<br /> PRESORIBING RULES AND REGb~ATIONS GOVERNING MUNIOIPAL EAREETS' ".
<br />
<br /> 3rd - ' I am attaching herew~'~h an ordinance entitled "An Ordinance to Prohibit
<br />the Conducting, Operation, Management or Promotion of any Lottery, Raffle, Number Game, or
<br />SLmilar Scheme or Device and Providing a Penalty for its Viola%ion, ~ the adoption of which is
<br />recommended.
<br /> The wording'of this ordinance has been aporoved by the City Attorney, and
<br />I also submitted it to Judge 0uthriell for his 0ommen~s, and'he advised that in his opinion
<br />it is much. stronger than the State law and takes oars of the loop-hole that exists in the
<br />State law. There is an ordinance similar to this in effect in Norfolk at this time. I am of
<br />the opinion that an ordinance of this kind will assist us materially in handling number games
<br />violators and violators of similar schemes. ~e have found it very difficult to convict cases
<br />of this kind under the State law.~
<br />
<br />adop ted:
<br />
<br />on its
<br />
<br /> Motion of Mr. Eayo to place the following ordinance on its first reading, was
<br />
<br /> "AN ORDINANGE TO PROHIBIT THE OONDUOTING, OPE_RATION, MANAGEMENT OR PROMOTION
<br /> OF ANY LOTTERY, RAFFLE, NUMBER GA~ OR SIMILAR SCHEME OR DEVIOE AND PROVIDING
<br /> A PENALTY FOR ITS VIOLATION.,
<br />
<br /> 4th - Presented the following ordinance which on motion of Mr. Brooks was placed
<br />first reading:
<br />
<br />"AN ORDINANOE TO REGULATE THE OPERATION OF VEHIOLES ON THE PUBLIO STREETS
<br />AND HIGHWAYS OF THE CITY OF PORTSMOUTH, TO GOV~-T~ AND PROTECT PEDESTRIANS
<br />WHILE USING SUCH STREETS AND HIGHWAYS, TO PROVIDE PENALTIES FOR THE VIO-
<br />LATION OF THIS ORDINANCE, A~ND TO REPEAL ALL ORDINANCES OR PARTS OF ORDI-
<br />NANCES IN CONFLIOT WITH THE PROVIS IONS THEHEOF.,
