City Mr. J.L.

Brickhouse. rdinance No. 5054 was passed June 26th, 1933 and published July th, 1937. This ordinance was republished on the 1st day of September, 1933 when it was discovered that the property at 5421 "S" Street had been omitted by the printers in the first publication. The property at 2005 and 2012 was listed in ordinance No. 5054 when it was published the first time. Ordinance No. 5064 was passed August 14th, 1933 and published August 21st, 1933 and covers the property at 2215 Spring Street. In all instances copies of the ordinances were mailed to the owners, r etnal agents, trustees or other duly authorized representatives. The ordinance so provides. In instances where the owners are unknown it becomes the duty of the City Engineer to carry out the provisions of the ordinance. City Attorney Brickhouse explained that in line with the ordinances if the owners or others failed to comply with the ordinances, the City Engineer would become the City's witness in case of litigation. That should anyone appear before him and file a complaint as to the owners non- compliance with said ord%nances, a warrant would be sworn Page 2. out for the arrest of such party or parties that they be brought into Court and fined in line with the penalty set out in the ordinances. Motion by Alderman Pickens, seconded by Alderman Wherry, that the City Engineer and City Attorney cooperating with the Chief of Police arxe to have these ordinances complied with."
