Show REVISE 'EM We find upon investigation, that the city ordinances have not been revised since 1909. and that a large number have been passed and approved ap-proved since that date. There are also al-so a number of old ones that are now obselete and should be eliminated eliminat-ed from the ordinance book. The ordinances now existing in the city should be revised and printed In neat book form, so that they would be easily accessible for the city attorney, justice of the peace and citizens if they so desire. The condition they are In at the present time makes it very inconvenient and unsatisfactory for an attorney who is trying to find any particular ordinance. or-dinance. We believe that If this matter is not attended to the city is apt to be caught napping some day when some particular misdemeanor has been committed. It is evident, too, that errors have been made because of the condition of some of the ordinances and culprits cul-prits have heen punished very lightly light-ly or not at all because of this fact. By all means the city fathers should order a revision immediately. |
