Also mentioned bYOken steps in sec- and house from Gessner going east, Then he talked about his way of mak- ing a livelihood - selling door to door which admittedly he continues to do even though it is not oermifited, according to one of North Olmsted's ordinances relating to peddling. He requested permission to make liveli- hood in this manner. Law Director Kitchen replied by saying ordinances of City aYe not directed to either the blind or to those who have infirmi- ties; nor do they except those who have infirmities: they are drawn for the benefit of all people in North Olmsted. Mayor Christman commented that under the ordinance we make no provision for permits or licensing to go out selling door to door. Further that the last time he and Mr, Wolf had discussed thi5 subject, he had suggested ta him if Yie felt strongly enough about subject, he should address Council. Mr, VTest then recommend- ed that the Legislative Committee take a look at this ordinance, study phraseology to see how handicapped people could be worked in so that trey could registert at City Hall, etc. He so recommended to President O'rleill.
