Every municipal council-will be authorised to forbid the erection of new picturo-houses, whilst they can reject Any film as unsuitable, notwithstanding the fact that the State censor has ap proved it, They may also censor an nouncements on placards, bills on hoard inga. or the wording of advertisements. In case of a second offence, the Coun cils will have the right to close the cinema in question for not longer than half a year. A third offence may close the cinema altogether. A special censorship will be organised for films for young people under eighteen.
