Mr. Strater said that' due to the increase in population in the Village, the Committee felt that our Fire Arens Ordinance should be amplified to prohibit hunting in Mayfield Village. ...There was considerable comment from the Council and the spectators, bringing out the fact that outsiders were taking advantage of our present Ordinance and compelling children to stay indoors during hunting season. Mr. Beard, seconded by Mr. Strater, then introduced Ordinance No. 524 entitled, "An Ordinance Prohibiting the Discharge of Fixearms ~Tithin the Village Limits and Repealing Ordinances Nos. l.?~1. and x.58,1 which ordinance was read to Council.

Notion carried Ordinance Passed Mr. Strater then said that the Committee had discussed the fact that several neigh'ooring vi.lla.ges were in the act of creating legislation to regulate the ar~unt of dynamite that could be used in any one blasting charge, and asked Mr. Edelman to look into this with alike ordinance for the ,Village in mind. , Mr. Strater next discussed the fact that we have approximately 512 ordinances in effect in our files, many of which have been killed, amended or changed, and only one or two copies of some of them in the hands of our officials. Mr. Strater said that in spot checks he had made, there seemed to be not more than a hundred or .so in force, and, as it had become increasingly difficult to enforce these ordinances unless those officials concerned had copies, his committee recommended that our ordinances be indexed and sufficient copies made of the acti~re ordinances. to place them in the haaids of all our village officials. .Mayor Endress reported that he had talked of this matter with the Clerk, and arrangements could be made to clear up this situation, if Council so wished. He further recommended to Council that an appropriation be made for a complete card index file, together withstencils, of all the important ordinances in effect that were concerned with the operation of our Village.
