## Opinion text

UNTHANK, District Judge,
concurring.
I concur in the opinion of the Court with the exception of the holding that the insurance or indemnity requirements of the Lakewood ordinance violate the First Amendment. I consider them legitimate and reasonable provisions for the protection of the City from liability. The fact that the City does not require insurance for public services of a quasi-governmental nature does not prohibit it from requiring insurance for other services.
