Application for a Bear license as individual considered
Mayor Carpenter stated the purpose of the Special Meeting and presented for the consideration of
the Council an application for a Beer License, as an individual, from Mr. John D. Fgans d/b /a Keg & Kettle at
608 Main Street. He explained in that the City had previously issued a Beer License to W. Cary Collins and
John D. Egans, a partnership, d/b /a Keg & Kettle at the stated address, and, presented in accompanyment with
4
the application a document to acknowledge a complete release of all equity or interest in the partnership
between John D. Eagan and W. Cary Collins by W. Gary Collins and Teresa A. Collins; as well as a statement
from J. P. Martin and Louise A. Martin, owners of the premises, giving consent to the retail sale of beer on
the premises. The application had been approved by the Chief of Police but was not accompanied by a receipt
from the Clark for the fee in as much as there was an uncertainty as to what fee would be required under the
circumstances.
Section 4 -7 -2 of the City Code was referred to and read. After a brief discussion; it was moved b3
Councilman McCluskey, seconded by Councilman Dakan, that a Beer License be issued to John D. Egans as an
Individual in accordance with his application, subject to a legal determination by the City Attorney of the
fee as provided for in the City Code and that the City Clark be instructed to hold on deposit a fee of
$100.00 until a determination was made. In answer to the question, Mr. Eagan stated that this action was
agreeable with him. A vote was then taken on the motion and the motion carried.
Request for variance referred to - no action taken
For information to the Council, Mayor Carpenter referred to a letter at the previous meeting from
Mr. Logan E. Kerr requesting a variance, and he told the Council that the description net forth in that lette
should refer to Mack "A" instead of Block 114,x, Councilman Davenport and Councilman Martin had not had an
opportunity to look at the property since the last meeting and no action was taken other than a brief dis-
cussion and clarification for Mr. Kerr, who was present, in that it would be his responsibility to see that
each of the Councilmen had an opportunity to see the property and be made aware of the construction intended
afore a favorable action would be considered by the Council.

Complaint presented concerning Ordinance on Junk Automobiles
Mrs. Audrey Bull was recognised and told the Council that she was present with respect to a Bill
concerning junked automobiles and she said her interest in it was the fact that in it there wasn't anyplace
where it indicates that you must have a warrant or anything to come onto personnel property or private
property and that she felt this infringed upon her constitutional rights. Drs. Bull stated that she didn't
know whet they were going to do about it, about junked sutomobiles and things, but she did feel that under
this Bill it was infringing upon their constitutional rights if allowed to become an Ordinance.' She.stated

In answer to the question concerning her objections by Councilman McCluskay, Mrs. Bull stated that
what she was objecting to was the fact that the Council didn't stipulate that they must have a search warranr

a search warrant to came on my private property or to touch my personal property. She said that she concurr.

this but she didn't want her Constitutional rights taken away because she didn't think this helped anybody.
Mayor Carpenter then asked the City Attorney if he would give his opinion on the Constitutionality
of the Ordinance.
City Attorney Wayne E. Davis then stated that he would like for Mrs. Bull to know that thin was not
