of alcoholic beverages by persons on public premises, except under
controlled conditions, is detrimental to the health, safety and welfare
of the residents of the Village and contributes to the development
of unsanitary conditions and the creation of nuisances. It is further
the intent of the Board of Trustees of the Village of Sloan that this
article shall not be considered as a traffic regulation insofar as
it relates to motor vehicles or the operation thereof.
For the purposes of this article, the following terms shall
have the meanings ascribed to them. All other words shall have the
meanings normally ascribed to them in regular usage.
