It shall be unlawful for any person to keep, conduct or operate any billiard table
or coin-operated billiard table for profit or to allow or permit any billiard hall
to remain open for business or open to the public before the hour of 7:00 a.m. or
after the hour of 2:00 a.m. provided, however, that national or state-wide tournaments
may be conducted without complying with such hours if sponsored by any established
national billiard association which submits a written request at least forty-five
(45) days prior to the first day of the tournament, to the city manager, and if it
receives city council's approval by way of ordinance.
