It is hereby de- clared unlawful for any person, co-partnership, firm or corpora- tion, to conduct or permit to be conducted any game of chance or skill in the City of Newport Beach, wherein there shall be used chips, tokens or tickets evi- dencing or representing things of value, between the hours of two o'clock A. M. and seven o'clock A. M. of any day after this or- dinance shall go into full force and effect. SECTION 2. It is hereby de- clared unlawful for any person, firm, co- partnership or corpor- ation to conduct or allow to be conducted in the City of Newport Beach, any public or semi- public dance, between the hours of two o'clock A. M. and seven o'clock A. M. of any day after this ordin- ance shall go into full force and effect. ` SECTION 3. Any violation of .'this ordinance shall constitute a misdemeanor, and shall be punish- able by a fine not to exceed $100.00, or by imprisonment in the 'City 'Jail of Newport Beach or the County Jail of Orange Coun- ty, for a period of time not to ex- ceed ten, days, or by both such tine and imprisonment. SECTION 4. This ordinance is hereby declared an urgency meas- ure, necessary for the immediate .preservation of the public peace, health and safety, and shall there- fore take effect immediately upon its first publication. The facts con- stituting such urgency are as fol- lows: There are no closing hours in the City of Newport Beach, for those conducting games of skill or chance, and no ordinance prop- erly regulating the closing of public or semi - public dances at reasonable hours, in said city; that by reason of these f.ccts it is difficult for the city of Newport Beach to properly police said city, as the places of amusement in this ordinance mentioned draw large crowds of people. That in ad- ' :i'jon to these facts, there is mu- sic as well as a great deal of noise, which accompanies t h e amusements mentioned, and by reason of that fact, many citizens of the city of Newport Beach are disturbed in their rest and quiet during the early morning hours. In order to afford proper relief to the residents of the City of New- port Beach, it is necessary that this ordinance take effect immed- iately upon its first publication. SECTION 5. The City Clerk shall certify to the separate vote on the urgency of this ordinance and its passage by the vote of five members of the city council of the City of Newport Beach, and cause the same to be published once in Newport News, a newspaper print- ed and circulated in the City of Newport Beach, and upon such publication this ordinance shall become immediately operative and take full effect. I hereby certify that the ques- tion of the urgency of the fore- going ordinance was passed and the foregoing ordinance was adopted by a vote of five (5) mem- bers of the City Council of the City of Newport Beach at its meeting of July 17th, 1933.
