JOSEPH, C. J.,
concurring.
I concur in the result generally. However, I am not entirely satisfied that the mystery of the meaning of note 18 in LaGrande/Astoria v. PERB, 281 Or 137, 148, 576 P2d 1204, adhered to on rehearing 284 Or 173, 586 P2d 765 (1978), has been convincingly solved. I hope and trust that the Supreme Court will tell us and the bar whether our divination is correct. If the note means that a city ordinance making punishable conduct also made punishable by state law is presumed to be beyond a city’s home rule powers, the sooner everyone knows that the better.
