He requested that the Council see if there Vincent Courtney, representing William Howard, owner of the trailer camp, was present pinch-hitting for Claude Allen. He stated they were . here for a point of information and there was nothing pending before the - Council here today. First, Mr. Howard has now acquired the property on Victoria near Highwq 36, measuring l6~' on Victoria and approximately 1300' west from Victoria and abutting on Highway 36. He has made applica- tion to the State Department of Health for the necessary licenses. Mr. Howard knows his responsibility. The Cooks operated a trailer camp on these premises since prior to May 12, 1942. The fact question seems to be whether or not the use was a use which applied to the entire area or to a limited tract. Over the past number of years since 1942 they have used a very substantial part of the tract as a trailer park. That is an issue which has to be decided. Mr. Courtney then wished to clarify the point as to what revenue is contributed by a trailer park. In 1951, a law was passed for regulation of trailer parks. The parks p~ $1.50 per month per trailer, which amounts to about $l7.S0 a year for each trailer. Of this, 25¢ goes to the County Treasurer, 75¢ goes to the local school district, and 50¢ to the municipality. JIr. Howard intends to comply with all ordinances of the Village and laws of the State. He has already invested a substantial amount of money in acquiring this property. Mayor Connor said there has not been any application made of any kind.
