Mr. Milton Bardy, owner of the Lido Bar, 107 North 1st Street, appeared before the Board at this time. The Commission was advised that the Lido Bar had been closed on July 5th due to the fact that the check Mr. Bardy had deposited for his license had been returned; the Board was further-advised that this was not the first instance that this had happened. The Board questioned Mr. Bardy on his financial ability to operate this business and asked him whether or not he was planning to sell the Lido Bar. Mr. Bardy stated that he had very little overhead in the operation of the bar, was paying cash for his stock and hereafter would pay for his license in cash. He further requested the Commission to allow him to continue this operation and indicated he would sell only in the event he is unable to make expenses. Thereafter Commissioner Bunker moved the tavern liquor license of Milton Bardy for the Lido Bar at 107 North 1st Street be reinstated and that this business be inspected periodically as to its operation by the Police Department.

Mr. Jones explained that it had taken more time than they had anticipated, and even though the building permit had been secured, they would like additional time so that the permit would not expire.
