EDITOR’S NOTE: Following is an excerpt from the preamble to Ordinance 501-1959 enacted on April 20, 1959 indicating the intent of Council in restricting uninvited solicitations:
“Because of the essentially single family residence character of the City, divided as it is generally into large lots with greater than average distances between the residences of the City, and because therefore the practices of soliciting, peddling and hawking in such a residential neighborhood tend to bother and annoy the residents of the City, and is quite difficult to effectively police and control, it is therefore declared that the practice of going in and upon private residences in the City of Wyoming, Ohio, by solicitors, peddlers, hawkers, itinerant merchants or transient vendors of merchandise, not having been requested or invited to do so by the owner or owners, occupant or occupants of said private residences for the purpose of soliciting orders for the sale of goods, wares, and merchandise and/or disposing of and/or peddling or hawking the same be declared to be a nuisance and punishable as such nuisance as a misdemeanor.”
