Scope and content
On the last day of the year in 1935, Bremerton police officer Rod Murphy stood poised to arrest Anne Guy for defying a thirty three year old city ordnance. According to Ordinance #11, drafted in 1902, it was a misdemeanor to whittle near the extreme south end of Pacific Ave. Conviction could result in a fine between 5 and 25 dollars. This was the lead in story in a Bremerton Sun newspaper article about outdated laws. By the way, the same ordnance made it illegal to roast or sell peanuts, loaf, tell stories or scatter litter in the same area. (Bremerton Sun 1/13/1936, pg. 1)
