INTER -OFFICE. -MEMORANDUM
CITY OF BEAUMONT, TEXAS
To: Mr, J. W. Jeffrey, City Manager
From: George E. Murphy, City Attorney
Subject:
Date: October 26, 1961
COMMENT:
Attached is an ordinance amending our present Trailer
_-_ - - Ordinance., -prohibiting the parking of any trailer -coach outside
a trailer park, and requiring those now situated outside trail.
er parks to obtain a permit, and fixes a monthly fee of $2.50.
This is the ordinance we discussed with the City Council
some time ago and they thought a change should be made that
would permit the occupancy of trailer coaches by carnival work-
ers, etc., at the Fair. Since that time we have changed the
ordinance to provide that the building inspector may permit the
parking of a trailer coach outside a park for a period of time
not to exceed ten days, when such coach is occupied by persons
who are employed in a temporary recreational, amusement , or
civic activity.
Inasmuch as we have considerable trouble with trailer
coaches in the city, it is urgent that this ordinance be passed
at our next meeting.
