Mr. Parramore again petitioned Council for permission to erect
outside stairway to his second floor for use in case of emer-
gency. Council advised that they could not allow, since it
was in violation of the Zoning Ordinance , and suggested that
he enclose same. He agreed that he could and advised that he
will see Mr . Frazier to-morrow for permit for enclosed stairs.
License Ordinance #115 was read by the Clerk and items on same
discussed. There was a considerable discussion of the w50.
charge on Billboards , and the wording of this item was changed
to read "Billboards , advertising by, for each board,rented,
serviced or maintained" . Upon motion of 11r. Bull, seconded by
Mr. Merritt , the Ordinance was amended by eliminateng Section
3 from the present draft , this section covered signboards
over 6 square feet in size. Upon motion of Mr. I+Iinchew,
seconded by Er. Williams Ordinance ,#115 was passed on third
and final reading as amended. Mr. Bull refrained from voting
as he feels that the 50. for billboards is unreasonable and
discrimitory, and that he regarded it as a proper subject for
Zoning and not license regulation. He objected to the principal
of attempting to tax out of existence a business or occupation.
Mr. Bull tecommended that in order to relieve the pressure
situation that a 4" line be extended down Sherry Drive to 2nd
ā¢ Street which would conplete the circuit and help the pressure ,
and also that the 6" line be carried on down Ocean Blvd. i.r.

secured. Council also asked Mr. Smith to see if any 6" pipe
available . Frazier was authorized to make the 4" exten-
sion down Sherry Drive to 2nd St .
