Donald G. NICHOLS, and all other citizens of the City of Jacksonville, and all other persons similarly situated, Appellant, v. CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, a municipal corporation, and City of Jacksonville Beach, known as Second Urban Services, District of the City of Jacksonville, Appellees.
    No. P-406.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    May 23, 1972.
    W. Shannon Linning, Jacksonville, for appellant.
    Stephen Stratford, Jacksonville, for ap-pellees.
    Joseph M. Glickstein, Jr., Jacksonville, for City of Neptune Beach, amicus curiae.
   PER CURIAM.

Appellant brought this action for declaratory relief pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 87, F.S. He sought a judicial declaration holding Ordinance 6674 adopted by appellee City of Jacksonville Beach on March 1, 1971, to be unconstitutional and void. From a final judgment holding the ordinance in question to be a valid exercise of the authority vested in appellee under its corporate charter, this appeal is taken.

We have reviewed and carefully considered the theories and supporting authorities on which appellant relies for reversal. From such review we are not convinced that the trial court applied erroneous principles of law in arriving at its ultimate conclusion that the ordinance in question constituted a reasonable exercise of police power by appellee city in light of the evidence adduced at the trial.

The judgment appealed is affirmed.
