SECTION 1: That Section 2 of Ordinance No. 1024 of the City of Santa
Ana, entitled "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA ESTABLISHING RULES AND
REGULATIONS GOVERNING THE USE OF PUBLIC PARKS AND PLAYGROL~NDS IN THE CITY OF

any part or portic~ of any such public park or play-
ground, when there is posted or displayed a sign or
notice at or near such part or portion stating that

"(E). To do or perform any act or thing or play

SECTI0~ 2: The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption
of this ordinance. An emergency has arisen creating an urgency for the immediate
adoption of this ordinance in order to preserve the public peace and safety, and
the facts constituting such urgency consist of the fact that certain men in this

is offensive and dangerous to, and interferes with, the public enjoyment of
certain portions of such park by women and children, by playing cards and other
games ~nd sitting and idling in such portions of such park, and using garrulous,
loud, offensive and vulgar language, and by watching and staring with licentious
looks, in such portions of such park w~ere women and children are accustomed to
be, thereby annoying and frightening them, notwithstanding the fact that public
recreational tSlaces have been provided for playing such games, and for such men
to spend their time, thereby interfering wit2~ the comfortable enjoyment of such
portions of such pgrk by said women and children, and thus threatening the health
safety and peace of such persons.
Therefore this ordinance shall be adopted at its first reading and
shall be in .e,f.fect from and after its adoption. The City Clerk shall cause
this ordinance to be published once in the "SANTA ANA INDEPENDENT", a weekly
