AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CITY COLE FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROVIDING FGR THE ENFORCEMENT OF TRAFFIC LAWS ON ALL STREETS OPEN TO THE USE PRIVATE STREETS OPEN TO PUBLIC USE. Mr, Ray presented this item stating the current ordinances define "street" or "highway" as the "entire width between the boundary lines of every way publicly maintained when any part thereof is open to the use of the publ i c for the purposes of vet-~i cul ar traffic".

This amendment wi11 remove the words "publicly maintained" and would allow enforcement in "general use" areas. After discussion, a motion was made by M. Thompson, seconded by J.
