Mr. Joe Foley representing Mr. Joseph Mankiewitz appeared before the Board at this time requesting renewal of the beer license and restaurant beverage license for the Westside Tavern. The Building and Fire Departments recommend this building be condemned and that it either be demolished or moved. Mr. Foley asked that the Board reinstate the above licenses for a reasonable time and in the meantime Mr. Mankiewitz will either bring this building up to code or find another place. The Building Department has not as yet condemned this building, but stated it is a fire hazard and in a very dangerous area. 10-20-54
