SECTION 2. The City Council hereby declares that this ordinance is necessary as an emergency measure for the immediate preser- vation of the public peace, health and safety. The reasons for the urgency of this ordinance are as follows: The gasoline energy crisis has forced the price of gasoline to fluctuate rapidly/ many service stations are closed at least part of the time, ,long lines of automobiles waiting for gasoline exist causing serious traffic hazards to moving vehicles and pedes- trians, the gas rationing has effected the morale of the citi- zens, price signs need posting to inform the public of the price being charged and the hours of operation, the public is alarmed,.and confusion and panic buying exists. In order to inform and protect the citizens of the city, the immediate need exists to permit the current price of motor fuel and hours of operation be posted at service stations to prevent confusion, panic, traffic hazards and breach of the public peace.
