March 8, 1977: Say No to Street Vendors

The Winder City Council votes to deny all requests for business licenses from street vendors.

The Winder City Council voted March 8, 1977, to deny all business license requests from street vendors. The manager of a business intending to sell snow cones throughout the city on regular truck routes had appeared before the council and another business wrote in to apply for a license for a similar venture. The council voted to deny all such applications and asked the city attorney to research whether an ordinance could be drawn up to place a permanent ban on such businesses.
