Barrick Realty, Inc. v. City of Gary

This appeal involves the validity of ordinance No. 4685, adopted by the City of Gary, Indiana, on July 25, 1972, forbidding the use of "For Sale" signs in residential zones of that city. The plaintiffs are a Gary realty company, its president, and a homeowner who listed his home for sale by the other plaintiffs. They sought a permanent injunction against the enforcement of the ordinance and a declaratory judgment that it is unconstitutional. In a carefully reasoned opinion, the district court denied relief. Barrick Realty, Inc. v. City of Gary, Indiana, 354 F. Supp. 126 (N.D. Ind. 1973). In affirming, we adopt that opinion as our own as to all issues urged in this Court. We also add a few words in further support of the district courts decision.
