MR. JUSTICE RYAN, dissenting: For the reasons stated in my dissent to the supplemental opinion in Carlson v. Village of Worth, 62 Ill.2d 406, 422-23, I believe that the ordinance of the City of Des Plaines with which we are concerned is a valid exercise of a home rule power. I believe that it is imperative that we not continue to deprive units of local government, especially home rule units, of the right to legislate in this area most essential to the health and welfare of the inhabitants and in an area where there has been for many years recognized authority of local government units to legislate.
