LAWSON CHANGED
PENALTY CLAUSE
Altered Lettering Ordinance ia
Make II Comply With Home
Rule Law

Reduction of the prison term orig
inally liked In Aid. Lodges loiterins
ordinance was not the result Of q
clerical error In his department, &C
cording to q statement by Corporation
Counsel Lawson, Friday.
Instead. the prison term Of six
months originally fixed In the ordin-
ance was reduced TO three months to
make the measure comply with the
provisions Of the home rule law
passed by the Legislature Of 1909 and
amended In the 1913 session.
Subdivision OF Section four pro-
vides that city may provide for pun
ishment of those violating It's laws or
ordinances. but no punishment shall
exceed fine OF $500. or imprisonment
for 80 days, or both, In the discretion
Of the court" said Mr.. Lawson.
THAT feature Of the Lodge ordi-
nance was changed here. not an Q re-
suit OF error, but simply because We
knew that the measure would not
stand the test Of the courts and could
not be enforced under the state law.
In q decision handed down In Q
case against the city clerk OF Adrian,
who refused to prepare and submit .
charter amendment under the terms
OF the home rule bill, Judge Hooker
held that provisions Of existing city
charters In conflict with this piece OF
legislation must yield to II. His exact
words were: The home rule law II a
general law for cities. and. insofar a.
general charter provisions are incon.
sistent with II. they must Yield"
