Mayor Peter Jones in op-
posing the bylaw on the
grounds that it violates a

_ They voted against the
‘bylaw on Monday's third
reading, but it passed with
the support of Aldermen
Ann Arnott (the originator
of. the measure), Doreen

Blackburn, Bob Hicks and

Don Lanskail.

Mayor Jones’ had said
earlier that the. new law
would be one more case of
government interfering in
the private lives of citizens.

Alderman. Marshall, a
lawyer, agreed. ‘On further
reflection,’ he said, ‘I believe
that this bylaw is en-.
croaching on an aspect of

human affairs: that is a
matter of good manners and
is not a matter for
legislation.’
