Show PROVO (UTAH) DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, APRIL 24, 1941 PAGE ONE Mayor Anderson States Views On Provo's Parking Problem Mayor Mark Anderson's views parkins situation are expressed f In a statement written prior to the meeting with Provo merchants mer-chants at which it was decided to give an "nonor system" a trial before pushing the parking meter plan. - Under the honor system, business bus-iness and professional interests will work cooperatively to keep their car off the business district dis-trict streets, thus providing more space for shoppers' cars. Mayor Anderson believes that the two-hour parking regulation r j nas failed to solve the parking problem and that parking meters are the solution. His statement follows: "To make a thorough and impartial im-partial job of tagging, violators of Provo's overtime parking ordinance ordi-nance would require more than th(e total number of policemen on Provo's police force. Since the element of public safety is a minor factor in overtime parking, park-ing, it would be inconsistent for our police force to neglect other duties to stop overtime-parking. "The two-hour parking limit has been on the books for many years. Merchants and professional men requested in 1937 that It be enforced. An attempt was made for a period of about three years to enforce the ordinance. Arrests for overtime parking averaged nearly five hundred a year until the fall of 1940 when no further special effort was made to enforce the ordinance. "Obviously the ordinance was adopted primarily for the benefit of business and professional interests in-terests who have cooperated very poorly with enforcement as the records of arrests prove. "It is my observation that our efforts to enforce the ordinance have accomplished practically nothing but the ill will of hundreds hun-dreds of people. "The f enforcement of s uch ordinances is recognized to be impracticable in many cities where tired. "While parking meters will meet with some of the same objections ob-jections encountered in the enforcement en-forcement of two-hour parking, the meters are mechanical, less personal, enforcement and policing- much easier. "Meters will not only solve most of our present parking problems but will enable our rxilice force to be increased and equipped as snouid te. He Wanted Mother 'J i Edward Jan Finder, 12-year-old immigrant im-migrant who came to San Francisco from Poland by way of Ru sia, Japan and as a stowaway on the S. S. President Presi-dent Taft, went around the globe to be with his mother, who has now appealed a deportation order to immigration im-migration ' officials in Washington. it Provo's police force is under-manned and i n adequately equipped. On the basis of population, popula-tion, our police personnel ' is less than half the national average. "I see only two possible sources from which to get the needed additional revenue for -' better policing. One is from parking meters and the other from gross sales of the state liquor store. The latter is practically out of the picture now because the present pres-ent state administration has shown a disposition to give local government none of the state collected col-lected revenues. "Meters set to charge one cent for eighteen minutes and five cents for an hour and a half parking will net Provo City about ten thousand dollars a year. after the meters are paid for. Two hun dred parking meters installed will cost $13,000. "These may be installed on a six months' or nine months' trial and taken out at the end of the trial period if not wanted by the city. "All of the revenue derived from parking- . meters should be used to improve traffic conditions and policing including provision for off-street parkin? areas." Dairy Barns to Be Checked Over SPRINGVILLE To determine what improvements have been made by local dairymen to conform con-form with a recent city ordinance governing the . care and sale of milk, Lee Walker, city inspector, is making a re-check of dairy barns throughout the town. April 1 was the date set when suggested improvements were to have been made. Among sanitary measures set for in the new ordinance or-dinance in maintenance of a milk house separate from the kitchen and a cement floor in the dairy barn.

To Bolhfor Boats To Britain WASHINGTON, April 23 (UE) Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox announced today that the navy is delivering about 20 small, fast torpedo boats to Britain. The navy is discussing a mutual small craft construction program with Canada to hasten allotment Mrs. Freda Birch of Riverside, Calif.; Ross Mason of Springville; also 21 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. of additional boats to the British, i Knox said at a press conference that the small craft assigned to Britain either are at docks ready to be shipped in cargo vessels or already have been placed in Brit ish hands. He said that as the result of conversations with Canadian na- val Minister Angu MacDonald and of discussions between President Presi-dent Roosevelt and Canadian Prime Minister W. L. Mackenzie King, Canadian shipyards may take over construction of a number num-ber of small boats. This would relieve United States facilities and I would facilitate that type of aid to Britain, he explained. Student Near End Of 1300 Mile Trek HAZELTON, B.C., April 24 (V.T.) Ed Borders, 24-year-old university univer-sity of Alaska mining student, today to-day was only 23 miles from the end of his 1300 mile ski trek from Fairbanks, Alaska, to Hazelton.
