Mrs. Irene Elkins came before the council requesting permission to operate
a pottery and gift shop where they could have flowers, plants, snow cones,
candy, potato chips, popcorn and sliced barbecue which would be prepared
when she received it. She also wants to sell stock trailers, from the factory,
mobile homes and camp trailers on conei nment. If the mobile homes and camp
trailers were not sold within sixty (60~ days, they would be returned to their
owners. She bought the red rock house, that was the Daniels home, at X00 East
Mansfield. Highway. The council approved this because she is not in violation
of the zon'.ng ordinance. Mr. Elkins then asked if she could move a 12'x24'
building in for this purpose. She was advised she could not since our ord-
inance prohibits this. She asked if she could build a frame building, on
concrete blocks finished to the ground. Mr. Radakovich advised her that tile,
masonery, or metal building were required for commercial purposes. She did
not understand the zoning ordinance to read this way. The council asked her
to cove to City Hall and check rd th Mr. Mathis on this and bring her speci-
fications as to xhat she wants, then get her building permit. She thanked the
council for their time and agreed to do this.

Mr. A. W, Bock introduced Mr. Rutherford, from Haltom City, who has been
helping with the water samples. Mr. Bock presented a letter to the Mayor
and council which contained his recommendations concerning the water and
sewer department. A copy of his letter will be attached to the minutes.
He recommended that Kennedale have two men licensed in water and sewer. He
said it would be permissible if one man were licensed for water and the other
licensed for sewer, but it would be better for them to be licensed in both.
Mr. Rutherford explained to the council what we need to do and how careful
we must be in taking our water samples. He said our samples looked hood,
except for one, and that he would be glad to help us in any way he could.
Gale Clark requested permission to put in an amusement center in Phillip
Biondi's building. Mr. Clark owns C & M Marble company, located in Kennedale
at 416 East Mansfield Highway. The council approved this.

council that the youth association has thirteen little league teams, in-
cluding girls softball, and .that they desperately need a park for these
