He expressed his hope that the Council would consider onsider of the ordinances in order that allow- him to coziduct, his bu'siness closer to the schools. Chief of Police Del Maestro stated. that the 8athtjrin'g-of.children around the wagon creates a traffic hazard but this condiiYon would be eliminated if Ordinance #2B2 were revised ' and' Mr, -Habhwere per- mitted to,park near the schools in a suitable place off the street C, Following 'a brief 'discu88ion the matter was :referred to -a co6mittee consisting f - City blanager.
