of the Bal Harbour Hotel, seconded by Mr. Faulkner and unanimously
approved by the Council.

the size of the signs put up by the Bai Harbour Club on Bal Cross
Drive. Mr. Hart said he, too, opposed them. Mr. Webb then stated
that the Village does not have a regulation governing the size of
the Club's signs.

cussion Mr. Anderson advised the Council that the State Beverage
Director was charged with granting these licenses and was of the opinion
that the application should be granted. As there had not been a con-
viction of felony within the last fifteen years, there is no lawful
way we can withhold the license. Thereupon Mr. Broeman moved that in

mously voted.
