o'clock P.M. June 26.
Application next received from Samuel Wright, colored, for permit for his 13 year
old son to peddle "Sno-conee" on the streets with a motorscooter.
Thereupon after considerable discussion, and in view of the fact that a boy of
that age cannot obtain a permit to operates motor vehicle of any type, it was felt
that he was also too young to maintain the proper sanitary regulations for selling
this type of food product to the public, and on motion duly carried, the aforesaid
application was denied.
Request next received from Attorney George A. DeOottes for the Commission to reconsider
the application of David L.Jeffry,colored war veteran, for permit to operate a taxicab
and same was again denied because it was felt that there are sufficient colored cabs
now in operation to serve the demands of the public.

Bass as police patrolman at a salary of $154.00 per month, effective as of June 16,1947.

seconded by Commmsslone~- Oarraway and carried the Commission next approved the employ-
ment of Roy L. Jones, Jr. colored, as colored recreation supervisor at salary of

by the Municipal Court under date of Mob. 20,1947, for second conviction of traffic
violations, Case No. 3?804. This permit having been revoked under the provision of
Ordinance No. 389, prohibiting the driving of a taxicab upon conviction of two traffic
violations.

tent of the two traffic violations were only minor offenses, Commissioner Bishop moved
that the Commission accept the recommendation of the Municipal Judge to restore the
aforesaid permit, and same died from lack of a second.

restoration of Ollie B.Woods Taxicab driver's permit be re-submitted after six months
have elapsed from date of revocation.
Request next received from Sanford Paint & Glass Company, ll? Park Avenue for a
parking "Loading Zone" in front of their place of business.
Thereupon after considerable discussion, and in view of the fact that the loading
zone reserved in front of Rockey's Tire Shop at ll3 Park Avenue is being used almost
exclusively by their own passenger car, Commissioner Bishop moved that it be eliminated
and that one be reserved in front of Celery City Print Company at ll5 Park Ave. to
serve all three business houses.

ing a warranty deed from Mr. Wltmer to the City for hie property.

ed by Mr Wltmer, and that the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to execute deed of conveyance

now located at the Municipal Airport, for the city to require Mrs. Velma L.Gonzalez,
who has a franchise to operate a bus line in the City, to extablish a bus service to

for this request, with a view cf the feasibility of establishing either a schedule bus
or taxicab service to the hospital, and to report recommendations to the Commission at
the next regular meeting to be held on July 14, 1947.
