<br />COMMITTEES FOR FURTHER STUDY. IT WAS AGREED THAT THE INVESTMENT THE CITY HAS IN
<br />ITS AIRPORTS SHOULD BE PROTECTED THROUGH PROPER ZONING; HO~EVER, IT WAS FELT THAT
<br />FURTHER STUDY SHOULD BE GIVEN BEFORE FINAL PASSAGE, PARTICULARLY IN VIEW OF THE
<br />FACT THAT IN ESTABLISHING THIS BOARD THE CITY WOULD BE DELEGATING CERTAIN POWERS
<br />TO AN AIRPORT ZONING BOARD.
<br />
<br />I
<br />
<br />2. THE JUDICIARY AND AIRPORT COMMITTEES CONCURRED IN THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE
<br />~UBLIC SA~ETY COMM1TTEE FOR THE PASSAGE OF AN:ORDINANCE PROHIBITJNG ALL PROFESSIONAL

<br />AND CHIEF OF POLICE,~E~1A'-t:J1~G.IQ.1~E,~~GU~~TtQ~QF_~E~~~~~~,~~!~~~~~~_~~~~~~_~~~_

<br />POLICE AND THOSE IN BUS'INESS AS MERCHANT POLICEMEN REQUIRING REGISTRATION OF WATCHMEN
<br />AND GUARDS, REGULATING UNIFORMS AND PROVIDING PENALTIES FOR THE VIOLATION OF TH,IS
<br />ORDINANCE. IT ALSO PROVIDES THAT ANYONE ENGAGED IN THE BUSINESS OF MERCHANT POLICE-
<br />MAN WOULD BE REQUIRED TO TAKE OUT A $1,000 PERFORMANCE BOND AND PAY AN ANNUAL LICENSE
