“Ordinance No. 319

“An Ordinance to Forbid and Punish Any Act

within the City Limits which Shall be Recognized as a Misdemeanor.

“Be It Ordained by the City Council of the City of Miami :

“Section 1. It shall be unlawful to commit, within the limits of the City of Miami, any act which is or shall be recognized by the laws of the State of Florida as a misdemeanor; and the commission of such acts is hereby forbidden.

“Section 2. Whosoever shall violate the provisions of this Ordinance upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by the same penalty as is therefor provided by the Laws of the State of Florida, but in no case shall such penalty exceed a fine of Two Hundred ($200.00) Dollars, or an imprisonment for more than ninety (90) days in the City Jail. *657“Passed and Adopted this 20th day of January, 1920.

“J. T. Blackmon, “President of Council.

“Attest: W. B. Moore, City Clerk.

“Approved this 24th day of January, 1920.

“William P. Smith,

“Mayor, City of Miami, Florida.”

It is contended that the Ordinance (a) is unconstitutional and void; (b) that it is vague, indefinite, and so ambiguous as to render it meaningless; (c) that it is unsound, unreasonable, and invalid. Likewise counsel for respondent submits that the first question for decision is: Is an Ordinance which has been duly passed and adopted by the City of Miami valid and constitutional which adopts the misdemeanor statutes of the State of Florida by reference to said misdemeanors without setting up in the Ordinance the statute itself?

Section 3 (aa) of Chapter 10847, Special Acts of 1925, Charter of the City of Miami, provides:

“To make and enforce all ordinances, rules and regulations necessary or expedient for the purpose of carrying into effect the powers conferred by this charter or by any general law, and to provide and impose suitable penalties for the violation of such ordinances, rules and regulations, or any of them, by fine not exceeding five hundred dollars or imprisonment at hard labor on the streets or other works of the city for a term not exceeding sixty days, or both.”

Likewise Section 84 of the Charter, supra, provides :

“All general laws of the State, applicable to municipal corporations, heretofore or hereafter enacted and which are not in conflict with the provisions of this charter or with ordinances or resolutions hereafter enacted by the commission pursuant to authority conferred by this charter, shall *658be applicable to the said City, provided, however, that nothing contained in this charter shall be construed as limiting the power of the commission to enact any ordinance or resolution not in conflict with the Constitution of the State or with the express provisions of this charter.”

Section 1 of Ordinance No. 319 makes it unlawful to commit any act within the limits of the City of Miami which shall be recognized by the Laws of Florida as a misdemeanor. This Ordinance is fully authorized by the Charter provisions 3 (aa) and 84, supra. The Legislature of' Florida, under Section 8 of Article VIII of the Constitution of Florida, had the power to enact Chapter 10847, Special Laws, Acts of 1925, being the Charter of the City of Miami.

The same question was before this Court in the case of' Wright v. Worth, 83 Fla. 204, 91 So. 87, when Ordinance No. 18 (a) of the City of Tampa provided by Section 1 thereof: “It shall be unlawful for any person, persons, firms or corporations to have or keep in possession any intoxicating liquors, the .possession of which is made unlawful by the Act of Congress of the United States or to offer the same for sale within the limits of the City of Tampa. The Ordinance was upheld and in so doing this Court, in part, said:

“It is also contended that the city is wtihout authority to make the possession of intoxicating liquors an offense punishable in the municipal court.

“While the manufacture, sale and transportation of in-' toxicating liquors for beverage purposes have been expressly forbidden by Federal organic law, the same organic law expressly confers upon the Congress and the several states ‘concurrent power to enforce’ the commanded prohibitions ‘by appropriate legislation.’ Any laws that are valid and appropriate to enforce the organic prohibition are within *659the power of the State; and regulations and reasonable prohibitions of the possession of intoxicating liquors are appropriate as a means to enforce the paramount' organic prohibitions. See Johnson v. State, 81 Fla. 783, 89 South. Rep. 114.

“The State may authorize its municipalities to enforce prohibitions by ordinances that are consistent wtih State and Federal law. The ordinance challenged is not in fatal conflict with State laws and the ordinance expressly adopts by reference the Federal law. See Van Pelt v. Hilliard, 75 ‘concurrent power to enforce’ the commanded prohibitions ‘by appropriate legislation.’ Any laws that are valid and appropriate to enforce the organic prohibitions are within the power of the State; and regulations and reasonable prohibitions of the possession of intoxicating liquors are appropriate as a means to enforce the paramount organic prohibitions. See Johnson v. State, 81 Fla. 783, 89 South. Rep. 114.

“The State may authorize its municipalities to enforce prohibitions by ordinances that are consistent with State and Federal law. The ordinance challenged is not in fatal conflict with State laws and the ordinance expressly adopts by reference the Federal law. See Van Pelt v. Hilliard, 75 Fla. 792, 78 South. Rep. 693.

“As the Federal law is the law of the land and as it does not in essence conflict with State law, ordinances adopting the Federal law by reference, do not violate charter powers which authorize ordinances that are consistent with State and Federal law.”

See Hecht v. Shaw, 112 Fla. 762, 151 So. 333; State, ex rel. Murphy, v. Harlee, 100 Fla. 1562, 131 So. 866; Sconyers v. Town of Coffee Springs, 230 Ala. 12, 160 So. 552.

Section 7650 C. G. L., being a misdemeanor statute *660adopted by Ordinance No. 319, has not been passed on by this Court, but similar statutes have been sustained. See Gillooley v. Vaughn, 92 Fla. 843, 110 So. 653; Hooks v. State, 58 Fla. 57, 50 So. 586.

It is not contended that Ordinance No. 319 is invalid because it contravenes Section 2949 C. G. L., which limits the power of municipalities to impose greater penalties than a $500.00 fine or imprisonment for' longer than 60 days. While the ordinance, supra, imposes a penalty in the form of a fine not to exceed the sum of $200.00 or imprisonment of not more than 90 days we do not think this conflict sufficient to render the ordinance invalid. We cannot assume that a trial court will impose a sentence for the violation of Section 7650 C. G. L. in excess of the penalty therein prescribed or to exceed the penalty fixed by the ordinance, supra, but there is a presumption that the trial court will assess punishment within the amount and time limits of Sections 7650 C. G. L., and Ordinance No. 319. We think Section 7650 C. G. L., and Ordinance No. 319 are in pari materia and can be and should be read and considered together. See Bryan v. Dennis, 4 Fla. 445; Mitchell v. Duncan, 7 Fla. 13; Spencer v. McBride, 14 Fla. 403; Ferrari v. Board of Health, 24 Fla. 390, 5 So. 1; Liggett Co. v. Amos, 104 Fla. 609, 141 So. 153, 155; State v. Johnson, 71 Fla. 363, 72 So. 477; Ex parte O’Donovan, 24 Fla. 281, 4 So. 789; Forbes v. Board of Health, 28 Fla. 26, 9 So. 862, 13 L. R. A. 549.

We have carefully considered the authorities cited by counsel for petitioner. The petitioner is remanded to the custody of the Chief of Police of the City of Miami for further proceedings according to law. It is so ordered.
