Show Highland Strip Merchants Ask For Deferment Of Parking Bar Highland Strip business men are exerting all efforts to get deferment on the parking ban during the peak hours on the Strip. Willis G. Carlisle, representing represent-ing the group, announced that the merchants are pushing every angle to provide off-street parking facilities for their customers. The ban which will go into effect as soon as regulatory signs can be put up, will virtually put some of the Strip merchants out of business. "We are not opposed to the parking ban during the peak hours but merchants who have just gotten out of the ruts of Highland Drive and back into business again are faced with a new lots in trade, until such time as off-street parking can be obtained. This will take perhaps 6 months. We were given the impression the parking control would not take effect for some time, we need the time to protect bur businesses." spokesman for the group said. A meeting of the merchants and Commissioner LaMont Gundcrson and Challis will be held Friday. ' ' i |
