WHEREAS, advanced computer science has developed a capacity to code
prices of items on grocery and market shelves in cipher, capable of interpre-

WHEREAS, these price markings which are unreadable in any modern
language are fixed and affixed at the manufacturing source; and
WHEREAS, the consumer can determine the price of the individual
items purchased only through the most painstaking and time-consuming research
at great inconvenience,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Tustin opposes the elimination of item price marking and gives its full sup-
port to legislation which would require that each item of commerce sold in
stores catering to the general public be clearly and plainly marked so that
each shopper can quickly and fully comprehend the price of the individual
item, and that such legislation not be inhibited by time limit constraints.
