i The City Attorney pointed out this is a protection for the I I housewife, and the Police Department has had several : : complaints regarding solicitors, also the City Clerk 1 I i has recommended such an ordinance.

I I Cmn, La Roche stated that he has never had any of the i I business people in Carlsbad call on him at his home, so i ! he did not feel it would hurt the business people.
! One of the representatives for Viatkins Co. products was i : present, and stated this ordinance has caused a great ; i hardship for many people. If you try to enforce this i ordinance this would prevent the Brownies, Girl Scouts, i : etc, , soliciting for a good cause, There are other ways i : soliciting can be regulated without,adopting the Green : i River Ordinance, In San Diego you can go to the Police I i Department and get a permit to solicit.
i The Mayor stated he would like to wait until they receive : : some comment from the Chamber of Commerce before : i any further action is taken on the matter. With the : approval of the Council the matter was deferred until i i some communication is received from the Chamber of I
i Commerce.

: The Mayor informed the Council he had attended the i Mayor's meeting in San Diego, and this report was dis- i : cussed. It is the feeling of some of the cities that the i r cities in the southern section should work out a joint I I
I venture and the cities in the aorth section should do the I : same.
i Also the matter of Senate reapportionment was discussed: : at the Mayor's meeting, and the Mayor's voted to recom-: i mend to the City Councils that a communication be sent I ! to the senate opposing such action. The City Attorney : i advised the Council that this Council had adopted 2 : resolution some weeks back opposing this matter.
