FOREST GROVE’S DEFECTIVE C IT Y ORDINANCES. The defendants In the Fourth <n July disorder cases, which had been continued to last Friday, failed to ap pear, and Hollis & Hawks, who hau been employed to prosecute, advised thut the ordinance was too defective to safely go Into court, so they recom mended dismissing the actions. The ordinance, which was passed in ’91, in Its title claims to punish disorderly conduct, but in the body only mentions disorder as prima facie evidence of drunkenness. Also, it provides for un limited Imprisonment In default of payment of fine and costs. Besides the certificate reads that a true copy was published, but does not state that the one thRt is In the ordiance book is the one that was published. For all these reasons Recorder Clark decided that their advice was wisdom, and accord ingly dismissed the cases. It is under stood that the council will at its next meeting pass some ordinances that will hold.
