Try to match that in the big city. We commend the Beaver City Fathers, and the Beaver Valley Chamber in getting their heads together and working the problem out. Nothing could be worse then to let new fangled zoning laws condemn half the buildings on Main Street to oblivion, because when they were built 40 or 50 years ago, they didnt provide for plenty of off street parking, for automobiles that were scarce as hens teeth when the buildings were built. o With the recent inforcement of the curfew in Milford we thought this comment was appropriate.

And if the business people, owners and employees would make the effort to park off the main drag, behind their store or at least a block off Main Street, most of the problems are automatically resolved. BEAVER Sheridan Hansen, BLM Beaver River Resource Manager of Cedar City, Irvin Larsen and Paul Bees approached the Milford City Council Monday at their regular meeting about the possiblity of working out or 25 a cooperative agreement, on Rock lease Corral, Big year Rock and Tube Hill. Hansen said he had noticed in the County News that the Milford Lions have been doing a lot of work at Big Rock and some on Tube Hill. Neither of which have been designated as recreation areas. He explained that Rock Corral which was developed by BLM is difficult to maintain, and would Vie more convenient for the city to maintain and control. He suggested a package deal which would transfer control of all three Were glad to hear that Beaver City solved the parking problems by giving variances to local businesses. It is difficult to change the face of Main Street in any small town, to provide adequate parking according to ordinances drawn long after Main Street is established. Ironically, people will travel to the big city and think nothing of parking four to five blocks from their destination, but in rural communities, if we cant wish to patronize, we complain there is no parking. Even in the big shopping malls of the big city, youre lucky if you can get within a quarter of a mile from the entrance, and the entrance may be that far from the particular establishment you wish to patronize.
