Referring to the accompaning ordinance amending Title 9 Chaper 1 of the Revised Criminal Ordinances by adding thereto Art's. 311a and 311b I have a to say:-
Art. 311a as contained in the accompanying proposed ordinance appears to be within the power of the City Council and a reasonable and valid ordinance.
