Col1ncilman Norwood said she thought it was time that we glcve our trailor ordinance a little mor:; attention and thought it was unfair to' our. ci tizens as it now s.tands and in the si tua tion of Mr. & Mrs Davis they have a special problem and this problem if we can solve for them would be an asset to the city.

Mayor Smit, pointed to standards in the building Gode dealing with fire and the building code, he said that mobile homes with ffew exceptions do not meet these standards and this particular mobile home did not meet the buildir¡:g code standard. He said we have a responsibility to people who have committed themselves to this community under these standards and though we should keep thest3 standards and was against revision or repeal of the ordinance.
