are good for Lady T's and
Betty's Cleaners, because they
arc walking the area when they

on the street and the customers
still can't gel back and forth,

or their customers take a,
chance on gelling between
those people, Wooden aid."
Wooden said the loitering
ordinance hould be put in ef­

night he wa in the Broadway

money and use that overtime to
go in and get the people when
they are abusing the law."
