Lloyd pushed the button for line 1. " Good morning Police Chief Littler". " Were you able to find out anything based on what we talked about".
" Mr Tucker" replied the voice on the phone. " I checked with City Attorney Boysen and he said that the old man can stay as long as he doesn't bother anybody".
" He bothers me Chief Littler" Lloyd said in disgust as he looked out the window at the old man. " He wears tattered rags and is covered with sores".
" Mr Tucker, is he bothering anybody going through your security gate?".
" No, I have had no complaints" he replied with a frown. " But I have seen dogs come up and lick at his sores".
" Mr Tucker, I realize that you don't want him there" the voice said with a pause. " But according to city law, outside of your security gate is city property".
" And as long as he doesn't bother anybody, he can stay".
" That's correct Mr Tucker".
" Thank you Chief Littler" Lloyd said as he loudly hung up the phone.



Peace and God's blessings. Love Ric
