It is hereby declared to be the legislative intent to invest the Mayor, subject only to the specific authority granted to the City Council in § 14-9, with sufficiently broad power of action in the exercise of the police power of the City with regard to the establishment and enforcement of such curfews to provide adequate control over persons and conditions during such periods of impending or actual public crisis or disaster. The provisions of this ordinance shall be broadly construed to effectuate that purpose.
