(TITLE) ORDINANCE, Amending Chapter VII, Article 5, Section 1 - Curfew
Bangor between the hours of 9:30 P.M. and 5:00 o'clock A.M. of
the fallowing day, official city time.
1.3 Unless a reasonable necessity exists therefor, no parent, guardian,
or other person having the legal custody of any minor under eighteen
years of age shall allow or permit such minor to be or remain upon
any street, alley, or lane or in any public place, restaurant or
saloon, in this City, nor shall any restaurant or saloon -keeper or
person In charge therefor for the time being, allow or permit such
minor to be or remain in or upon his premises within the hours
prohibited in the preceding section.
1.4 Sale of Cartridge to Children Under Sixteen. No person shall sell
to any child under the age of sixteen years, without the written
consent of a parent or guardian of such child, any cartridge of fixed
ammunition or blank cartridge, or any gun, pistol or other mechanical
contrivance arranged for the explosion of such cartridge.
Note:
The effects of this amendment are threefold
1. Whereas at the present time the entire curfew provision pertains to
children "under sixteen", this amendment pertains to children "under
fourteen" in which case being upon a public street, avenue, alley or
park is prima facie evidence of "loitering, loafing or Idling" and a
child between 14 and 18 which provides merely that it shall be unlawful
for such people to "loiter, loaf or idle."
2. This amendment specifically Includes "parks" as an area within
which it shall be unlawful for children under 18 to be during the hours
prescribed.
3. Whereas the present ordinance says only that it shall be unlawful
for them to be In these places "after 9 o'clock In the afternoon" this
new provides a specific time period "9:30 p.m. or before 5 o'clock a.m."
