Show SEE - SAW ' I. Well sir, iluc'T!lellt ut 200 pai'k-i,r; pai'k-i,r; meter:; in Sugar House was a.ivucaied tliis week to the Salt Lake city commission by Sam Taylor, Tay-lor, city engineer. Taylor made a similar suggestion sugges-tion to the Sugar House chamber of commerce public affaii's committee com-mittee GO days ago, but at that time, the group felt meters were not necessary and suggested taoling the proposal for the time being. Traditionally, Sugar House has been free of the plugue of parking park-ing meters, and most business- i men f el meters would not only be a disagreeable nuisance, but they would not be the answer to the tratlit'-parking problems of the area. There are a dozen off-street parking areas for use of customers buying in Sugar House, and around JOO available on-street parking spaces. Parking meters, it is felt, would tend only to regulate a small percentage per-centage of the parking in the Sugar House area and would contribute con-tribute not one single thing to the overburdened movement of auto- mobile traflic. Whether Taylor can jam the parking meters past the city commission com-mission before a great howl is made by Sugar House businessmen remains to be seen. They would possibly raise only enough revenue to pay the ticket-tagging ticket-tagging patrolman assigned to them and the admitted chief reason for parking meters is to raise revenue. |
