The City Council may, by resolution, upon the recommendation of the Chief of the Fire Department, permit the storage of junk within the fire limits when the same is stored in buildings or behind such enclosures as will prevent the storage of said junk from becoming a menace to the safety of any property in the city of the health of the inhabitants thereof. Such a permit as may be granted by the City Council shall be subject at all times to revocation by the City Council, when in its opinion, either the conduct of the party maintaining such storage yard or the changed circumstances of the surrounding property are such as to warrant such revocation. The revocation shall be made by resolution and a copy thereof served upon the owner and occupant of the premises so operated under a permit by having the Chief of Police serve a copy of said resolution personally on said parties and, if such parties or any of them cannot be served personally, then by mailing a copy of said resolution to the owner and occupant at his last known address.
