<br />appears that those complaints stem around unsatisfactory service,
<br />sales techniques and their policy on the returning of items.
<br />Further checking has also shed some doubt as to the effectiveness
<br />or reliability of their products and the legality of their opera-
<br />tions in relation to various City licensing policies. Based on
<br />the above findings, Mr. Vance felt that it would not be in the
<br />best interests of the citizens of South Bend to issue the pack
<br />peddlers licenses and thereby recommends denial of the applica-
<br />tions. Therefore, upon a motion made by Mr. Leszczynski,
<br />seconded by Mr. Hill and carried, the Pack Peddler license
<br />applications for the above individuals were denied.
