WOMEN MAY SMOKE IN PUBLIC
Corporation Counsel Gives Opinion tn
Majority Leader of Aldermen.

Women who smoke in public need not
fear that the strong hand of the law
will be placed upon them. Frank l..
Bowling, majority leader of the Board of
Aldermen, some time ago conceived the
idea that the growing tendency OF women
to smoke I'm public could be stopped by
an ordinance. Accordingly he wrote to
Corporation Counsel Watson for an opinion
on the right of the board to prohibit fe-
males from smoking in public places"
Yesterday he got the opinion.
My opinion" wrote Mr.. Watson lis
that the courts would more likely hold an
ordinance prohibiting public smoking by
women to he void than valid 1t is posi-
BILE that such an ordinance might conflict
with Section 40 Of the civil rights law, pro-
viding that all persons shall be entitled to
equal accommodations, advantages, facili-
ties andNprivneges in inns, restaurants,
hotels, etc"
The opinion continues:
The question cannot be answered with
absolute assurance at this time because il
is one, perhaps, as to which reasonable
attention 10 the fact that the prohibition
would attempt 10 control personal conduct
which i'm no way cncroaches upon the
rights of others, and which many might
consider TO be not subversive of public
order health or morality. Personal con-
duct or habits which might be merely
vulgar or indicate. in the opinion of your
board, or involve bad taste, would not
necessarily be sufficient TO sustain the
validity of q prOhbitiVe ordinance.
