by the building inspector on blank forms furnished by'the
city and kept in his office for that purpose, and no work
or construction of any description for which a permit is
required shall be commenced or continued without such a
permit and the number thereof displayed in a conspicuous
manner and placed on the lot or building, together with
the street number of the building or structure; and no
permit for the erection, construction, enlargement:y: altera-
tion, -.repair, improvement, or conversion of any building or
structure in the city, for which a building permit is re-
quired shall be issued to any applicant who has not received
authorization therefor from the Federal agency or instrumen-
tality empowered to grant such authorization, when such
authorization is required by or under any regulation or
order issued under or pursuant to the Veterans' Emergency
Housing Act of 1946 or the Second War Powers Act, 1942,
as amended; and any person who shall start, commence or
continue, or cause to be started, commenced or continued

punished by a fine of not less than five dollars (;5.00)
nor more than one hundred dollars (100.00).
Section 2
The City Commission of the City of Beaumont shall
appoint. a Permit Reviewing Board to be composed of three
members all of whom shall be qualified voters of the City
of Beaumont and shall serve at the pleasure of the City
Commissiono The Building Inspector may refer any applica-
tion for a permit to the Permit Reviewing Board when there
-l-
Y .
is any doubt by said Inspector as to whether or not
said application shall be granted. In the event an
application for a permit is refused by the Building
Inspector the applicant may appeal to the Permit Re-
viewing Board and renew his application before said
Board. The said Permit Reviewing Board shall have
the authority to pass upon any and all applications
for permits under the tents hereof and the findings
of said Board shall be final. In the event the Board
by a majority vote is of the opinion that the appli-
cant should be granted a permit, said findings shall
be binding upon the Building Inspector and thereafter
the Building Inspector shall issue said permit as pro-
vided by law..
Section 3
The fact that the existing Building Code of the
City of -Beaumont does not afford adequate regulations
for the issuance of permits under the existing Federal
regulations, together with the fact that there is a
scarcity of adequate available dwellings which creates
a hardship for returning veterans and their families
and for the many other persons seeking dwellings in the
city which, coupled with the fact that the construction
of commercial, industrial and other non -dwelling build-
ings and structures consumes material and skilled labor
needed to construct dwellings to remedy the serious
housing shortage, all of which creates an urgency and
a great public emergency which requires immediate action
for the preservation of public health, peace, safety,
and welfare, necessitating the suspension of the rule
requiring ordinances to be read on three several days
before their passage, and same is hereby suspended and
this ordinance shall be in effect from and after the
date of its enactment.
PASSED by the affirmative vote of all members of
the City Commission on this the /t a day
