Show PARKING BAH VOTED BY S. II. CHAMBER The Sugar House chamber of commerce Tuesday voted to request re-quest a permanent parking ban on 21st South street between 11th and 13th East between 7 am. and 7 p. m. Captain C. A. Youngberg, head of the traffic detail of the Salt Lake police, declared that the city would subscribe to the chamber cham-ber wishes in the matter, but, he pointed out, the financial health of this district, or any district depends de-pends on the ability of people to get to that district, and then for that district to take care of them when they arrive. Thus, he pointed out, Sugar House, with eleven public off-street off-street parking lots, is in a fortunate for-tunate position, and that by banning ban-ning parking on the narrow bottleneck bottle-neck street, traffic can move with greater facility into the Sugar House area. Horace A. Sorensen urged the parking restrictions and the co. operation of the merchants in the area affected. "Streets are made to drive on, not to park along." Mr. Sorensen said. Grant Midgley echoed Mr. Sor-ensen's Sor-ensen's expressions, saying the action would be for the greatest great-est good for the greatest number and generally would be beneficial i to all the community. He pointed out that this was not the first obstacle encountered in the building build-ing up of Sugar House, and that more would surely follow as he urged the parking ban. John C. Barnes opposed the action ac-tion by declaring it was a moral issue and was discriminatory against those fronting tthe restricted restric-ted area. At the same time the chamber agreed to assist in every way possible the establishment of ad. ditional off-street parking areas to help accomodate the patrons of the concerns involved along the . restricted street. |
