He is vetoing ordinance for these trwo reasons: (1) the $1000 deposit required to cover any cost or servAce rendered by any Department of the City, such as torn-up grass, damaged ball diamonds9 etc.9 should be specifically deposited by the owner of such Show or Carnival. (2) The passage of the ordinance at this time would create a hardship for organizations which have already contracted for Earnivals for the year, 1968. Mayor Christman is recomrnending that a new Ordinance be passed similar in nature which would specifically state that the $1000 be made by the Carnival people involved instead of the sponsoring organizatson; and thet effective date of Ordinance be made September 14, 1968, in order to have these rules arad regulations in effect by the 1969 Carnival Season. t
