It is hereby determined, under the police power
of the Village of Superior and in the interest of the public health,
safety and morals, that the location and use of trailers for residential
purposes in the Village of Superior tends to adversely affect the
public health, creates additional and difficult problems of police
protection within the Village, lowers the overall property values
and unstabilizes the present use of property in the Village, tends
to create a generally unsatisfactory environment for the rearing of
children, creates insoluble problems of providing school plant facilities
for the children residing in such trailers, which trailers are not,
under present law, assessable property for tax purposes and accordingly
cannot be included in the school district valuation for the purpose
of computing general obligation loans for school additions and improvements,
and in general tends to attract a transient class of nonpermanent
citizens to the Village of Superior; none of which results or tendencies
are or will be in the public good or interest. Therefore, the location
and use of additional trailers for residential purposes in the Village
of Superior should be prohibited.
Wherever used in this chapter, unless a different
meaning clearly appears from the context, the following terms shall
have the meanings indicated in this section:
