Waterloo Judge Rules City Drunkness Ordinance Valid
Judge C B Courtright held Waterloo's drunkenness ordinance valid, overruling a demurrer in city v Matt McDermont. The decision states cities may enact penalties up to 100 dollars or 30 days in jail and that state law may establish separate offenses for the same act. The ruling preserves past fines and reinforces municipal authority under section 1 No. 680 of the code of 1887.
