## Opinion text

Douglas, J.,
concurring in judgment. I concur in the judgment and paragraphs two, three, four and five of the syllabus. I express concern that paragraph one of the syllabus is restrictive to the point that it will make it difficult — if not impossible — for cities to deal, in any meaningful way, with the ever-increasing problem of obscenity.
