Mr. Buettner added that while his wife was away he had three women working at the nursery that had a total of four children.

LIQUOR LICENSE The Commission considered the request of G. Patrick Kennedy to transfer the tavern liquor Transfer license formerly issued to him at Hernando's Hideaway, Nellis Boulevard and Van Buren to the Hernandos Hide-a-Way Firefly at 1713 South Main Street. Denied City Manager advised that the building meets the code, and the investigation on the applicant is favorable. Mayor Baker stated that there is a letter on file from the Clark County Licensed Beverage Association, protesting the granting of this transfer. Mr. Arthur Lurie, general manager of Market Town appeared and objected to the granting of this license on the basis that there are not sufficient parking facilities and that the strip shopping center is for families and he did not think it advisable to have this type of business where there are children. Mr. G. Patrick Kennedy appeared next and stated that the parking facilities had been investigated by the owners of the building and himself, and there would be no problem. He advised that he had invested a great amount of money in this license, and had surveyed the city for the best possible location, which he thought this was. Commissioner Bunker stated that inasmuch as the Board has turned down many other applications in this area and since the area is already saturated he moved the request be denied. Motion seconded by Commissioner Fountain and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Fountain, Sharp, Whipple and Bunker and His Honor voting aye; noes, none.
