Storage and disposal. ' Section 10. 290, Sub-Sec . 1. Dear Sir: As you, and most of the City Councilmen, know since the Missouri �! Vehicle Inspection Law became effective, we have numerous discarded,li Junked, etc . vehicles left on the City streets, as well as on priva e property, due to the fact vehicles will notpass inspection and are discarded when their licensesexpire. In the past, tow companies have towed vehicles and stored them according to the City Ordinance, and then have sold them to a salvage company and have, at least, been able to salvage a small part of the towing and storage bill. In the past months we have had difficulty in getting these tow companies to pull off these vehicles , due to the fact that they do not have the storage lots, garages, etc . , to place the vehicles and cannot even give the Junkers away, after keeping them. It is respectfully requested that in the very near future a meeting be held to discuss this problem, possibly with some of the tow companies, etc . to attempt to find a solution. At the present time we do not have any place to store additional vehicles, and as it appears now, will not be able to dispose of the vehicles that are in storage. Respectfully yours , CLAUDE E.
