Code is hereby amended to read as follows:
Sec. 4265,3. Games Prohibited,
A person shall not:
a) Deal, play, carry on, -or conduct,
i) Any game where players bet or
wager money, checks, credits or
other things of value against
each other; or

c) Permit any game prohibited by sub-
sections (a) or (b) to be played,
conducted, or dealt in any house or
other premises owned by, rented by or
in lawful possession of such person.
Provided, however, that no provision of this
section shall be deemed or construed as prohibiting
any act made unlawful by the provision of Section 320,
or of Section 320a, or of Section 330, or of Section
337a of the Penal Code, or of any other code section
or general law of the State of California, it being
the intent of the City Council to prohibit by this
Section all gambling herein described, not otherwise
prohibited by the provisions of any law of this State.
SECTION 2. This Ordinance shall become immediately
effective as an urgency Ordinance for the reason that it has
been ascertained that the existing code sections of Temple
City regarding gambling, as adopted by Ordinance No. 67 -235A
are deficient in certain particulars and have been placed in
jeopardy by a recent ruling of the Appellate Department of
the Superior Court challenging a similar Los Angeles County
Ordinance; that gambling in any such form would be contrary
to the best interests of this community.
SECTION 3. The City Clerk of the City of Temple City
shall certify to the passage and adoption of this Ordinance
and to its approval by the Mayor and shall cause the same to
be published in the Temple City Times, a newspaper of general
circulation, printed, published and circulated in the City of
Temple City.
