each other; or
ii) Any game of chance for money,
checks, credits or other things

or of Section 320a, or of Section 330, or of Section
337a of the Penal Code, or of any other code section
or general law of the State of California, it being

Section all gambling herein described, not otherwise

Sec. 4115. _Permitting Prohibited Games on

prohibited by Section 4114 to be played, conducted,
or dealt in any house or other premises owned by,
rented by or in lawful possession of such person.
SECTION 3. This Ordinance shall become immediately
effective as an urgency Ordinance for the reason that it has
been ascertained that the existing code sections of Irwindale
regarding gambling, as adopted by Ordinance No. 238, are
deficient in certain particulars and have been placed in
jeopardy by a recent ruling of the Appellate Department of
the Superior Court challenging a similar Los Angeles County
Ordinance; that gambling in any such form would be contrary to
the best interests of the residents of Irwindale and bring an
undesirable element into the City.
