It was pointed out that this area is zoned "Light Industrial ", in which category this type of activity will fit. His move to this location from the corner of Fox and Michigan Streets, is due to an order for removal of this hazar- dous equipment, issued by the Fire Inspector, from their Michigan'Street location. The Board directed that a 6 -foot industrial fence be erected completely around the lot, as requested by Fire Chief, Richard J. Duck. This was agreed to by Mr. Benjamin, and it was also understood and agreed that any trailers parked in this enclosed area are to be empty. After the regulations of the Fire Chief have been complied with, the Board agreed to issue a tentative permit to use this area for the transport terminal facilities and purposes meeting the present needs of his business.

Hess of his position as a police and fire alarm operator in accord with the decree of St. JOseeph Superior Court No.2, dated November 13, 1952• Mr. Glenn A. Hess and his attorney, Jos.
