Portland Police Study
Knife Sale Ordinance
Portland UJ.Pj Police
juvenile officers Saturday were
studying a proposed ordinance
which would ban the sale and
possession of switchblade knives
in Portland.
The proposed two-part ordi
nance would make it unlawful
for persons under 18 years of
age to possess any knife with a
blade longer than 3Vi inches.
The law also would prohibit the
sale and possession of any
switchblade knife.
The ordinance is backed by
police because of the growing
number of crimes among juve
niles using the switchblade, or
spring release, knives.
The U.S. army abolished flog
ging as punishment in 1861 after
public protests.
