THE UNANIMITY OF OPINION REFLECTED BY THE PETITIONS AfFIRMS THE POSITION THAT THE'ASSOCIATION HAS TAKEN REGARDING THE NECESSITY FOR THE ORDINANCE.

THE LEGAL QUESTION 'INVOLVED is ONE THAT CAN ONLY BE DETERMiNED BY A COURT Of COMPETENT JURISDICTION AND DECISIONS FROM OTHER JURISDICTIONS INDICATE A SPLIT OF AUTHORITY. THIS FACT, HOWEVER, HAS NOT. DETERRED THE CITY FROM ADOPTING OTHER ORDINANCES THAT HAVE BEEN SUBJECT TO THE SAME LACK OF OREGON PRECEDENT AND WE fEEL THAT THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE SHOULD BE ACCORDED THE SAME CONSIDERATION.
