the South Texas State Fair during its anrua� fair causes much
disturbance of the peace 'and the fact that -preservation of
the peace among the large number of visitors that will be in
the City of Beaumont during said annual fair justifies the -
pro-hibition of the using; of the devices named herein, creat
an imperative public emergancy necessitating; the suspension of
