By having these automobiles parked on or behind the stores, the parking problem has been greatly relieved. Full cooperation by merchants and employes is still being aSked by the committee. City officials have indicated that enforcement of a limited time parking law is difficult at best, but that if it becomes necessary, such an ordinance and enforcement can be put into effect here. However, Mr. Robertson and his committee are of the opinion that with proper cooperation between the merchants and customers, the problem can be solved satisfactorily without resorting to law or police action, nor to parking meters which other towns have found objectionable.
