Show Meter Installation Proves Good Move Much has been said for and a-gainst a-gainst the parking meters on Main street, but we are firmly convinced that Uie Installation of the meters on that street has definitely Improved Im-proved parking conditions in the business district, and was a wise action on the part of the city administration. ad-ministration. Certaiidy parking Is much more orderly now than it was before the meters were Installed, and It is much easier to find a parking place In the business district during the period from 9 u. m. to 0 p .m. Those who have been the most critical of the installatlon'of meters in most cases were those who had been in the practice of parking their cars on Main street all day long, day after day. True It has Inconvenienced these people a great deal, but It has made the parking space so used In the past available to shoppers and others who have business to conduct con-duct In the business area. Much of the credit for the success suc-cess of the parking regulations Is due to Police Officer Tony Lambert's Lam-bert's efficient and friendly enforcement enforce-ment of the regulatons. The Installation of the meters was a. big step forward In the control of traffic and parking, and experience exper-ience of recent months has proved that more meters should be installed install-ed at strategic points, to make even I better control possible. |
