After that day, the unused numbers will be returned to the manufacturer. . Following are recent ing spaces on Main street repainted in the near future, with the "Monterrey system" to be given a local trial. Under this system, the parking spaces will be shorter, with a red zone in front and back of each pair of spaces, for use only in entering or leaving the parking space. "Using that method," Coun- cilman Bolton explained, a person will always drive directly to the curb, then either drive into or back straight into the vacant space. It eliminates the twisting and backing, and simplifies parking for those not too accustomed to parallel parking." hcarH wfnr Jtit'ii? Always something interesting In the mall bag. As, for instance: - Ban Briscoe East I feel plumb slighted, my wife putting all that thank you stuff in the paper and not mentioning me, and here me doing all the washing, etc. Well, maybe my washing the green socks with the sheets had something to do with it.
