Session 710, Minutes August 20, 1962 Page 21 some of the operators, and therefore he said, he will vote against the adoption of the bill. Councilman Epstein said she is going to vot~ for the bill because it seems to her that the Police Department and the administra~L~Q forces must have a good reason for requesting it which is undoubtedly for the ~tcet~on of the public in general. Further, she expressed the view it would be tection to the operators also,in a sense,to have their establishments ... closed so there would be no probability of incidents. Councilman Tandler said he believes the purpose of this proposed ordinance is to close up these establishments during hours when problems may occur which neither the operators can effectively deal with because they are not present, nor can the City station a policeman or fireman at each and every one of these establishments during those hours. He said it is quite clear that if the attendant could be required, that the administrative forces would not have asked the Council to close these places down during the early morning hours, and as far as this being discriminatory, Councilman Tandler continued, he does not think it is discriminatory because it is intended to preserve the safety and welfare of University City citizens as well as any other people who may be using the facilities.
