That the curfew law is not legal
and cannot be enforced is the opinion
given by City Attorney Benjamin w.
Blanchard of Bangor in answer to a
question submitted by Chief Of Police
O'Donohue. Mr.. blanchard says that
while the question has never come be-
fore the Maine courts, he finds de-
cisien from a court of last resort in
which city ordinance practically the
same as that of Bangor and other New
England cities is held void as unreal
sonable and an invasion of personal
liberty of citizens. He regards the So
called curfew ordinance as beyond the
police power of the police.
