Rosenberry, C. J. It will not be necessary for us to consider in this case as courts have been obliged to consider in many related cases, whether or not the common council had power to enact the ordinance in question. Since the revision in 1921 the power of a city with respect to its internal affairs is as broad as it is possible for the legisla*580ture to grant except in
