Mr. Stein reported that he had made ail inspectinn of the trailer and in order to carry out the Health. Department rbquiremenFs, he .had to deny the use of this trailer for the preparation of food. He said it v!Rs necessary for tb.a trailer to be of the same construction as that of the main building and that the trailer could not be used for the storage of provisions according to city ordinances r:end state laws. Iie stated he'had posted a notice to °bate the nuisance and it tivas being referred to the council for consideration. Councilman Granrer was of the opinion that it was up to the Health Department to abate the nuisance. City Manager Mead said the reason it was referred to the council was for permission for Mr. Gray to erect a permanent build:L11-. IJIr. Gray stated th..t he has to replace the trailer with something and that he was unable to get a pernit to do so inasmuch as he was open°atinC_ under a. temporary permit. Councilman Armstrong was of the opinion that the issuance or non -issuance of a permit to construct another structure had nothing to do with the abatement of a nuisance. City Attorney McCarthy said rt was a practical way of abating the nuisance stating that Lir. Gray agreed, in June that he acquired no property rir�ts in the license and that the, license might be revoked at the end of the war or six months thereafter. As a matter of practical expediency he said the council might -revoke the permit of the Diner if he were permitted to,put up a structure that would comply with the ordinance crith the understp4ding th-.t the structure would b-- abated sabated when the Diner's permit was revoked. Councilman Granger asked City Attornsy McCarthy if he believed the Diner's permit could be revoked at the end of the war to which City Attorney McCarthy replied thet he believed it could be inasmuch as the original permit was a temporary permit and no other permit has ever been issued. Mr. Gray asked why it was. not possible for him to obtain a permanent per- mit to which Mayor Hilton replied that it was the opinion of the council that the building was not a desirable type of building; and that it should not be left thers permanently. Councilman G.•anger moved that the permit be denied, seconded by Councilman Armstrong. Notion passed unanimously. Mayor Hilton e.^plained to LL". Gray that a permit for a permanent structure had been denied but that if he wishes to put up a temporary structure which would comply with the city fire and health ordinances he wauld be allowed to do so. Councilman Ar,lstrong, stated teat he wanted it understood that the: permit is not changed from its temporary status. OOLMander Howard EZ.
