Junk Dealers Face New Ordinance and Penalties
A 1946 city ordinance restricts junk dealers to prevent theft and concealment. It outlaws destroying or selling unverified junk for 48 hours post-purchase without police permission and bans concealing items. Violations carry up to 30 days in jail or fines up to 100 dollars. The measure, approved March 25, repeals conflicting ordinances and enforces location and fencing requirements within set timelines.
