brought to $15,000 the funds contributed to date, and stated that

Mrs , Step-hen Dana, President of the P.T.A. Council of Redlands, read a
statement to the Council outlining P.T,,A, objectives and requesting the
City to revoke the license of the Adult Hobby Shop located at 745

:7ation ing is in direct opposition to the objectives of national P.T.A. and
:st the Redlands P.T.A. Council.

ise The Council concurred in this view and acknowledged the receipt of
many letters and phone calls supporting Mrs. Dana' s point.
City Attorney Taylor explained that there seems to be no legal manner
in which a city can take action against this type of business , because
the State has pre-empted control of pornography and in a recent case
the Supreme Court had ruled against a city trying to prevent such
business from operating, stating that they cannot do by indirection
what cannot be done in a direct manner. Mr. Taylor added that the
police are securing evidence and preparing information for the District
Attorney. Councilman DeMirjyn added that the best alternative is to
bring pressure on the State and Federal representatives, A representa-
tive of State Senator Biddle in the audience was asked to convey the
Council ' s and the City' s feeling to him on this matter.
Mr . David Lawrence of 1655 Garden Street presented another one hundred
signatures to be added to the petition which requests that the
proposed extension of Ford Street through Garden Hill be rejected.
