To-day's daily complaint against the
autoist specifies a determination on the
part of the authorities to put a stop to
the practice of parking cars on tho
main streets for hours at a time. The
man who has taken the matter in hand
is none other than The mayor and
solid hour was spent in conference this
forenoon by some of the officials. 1t is said
that the presence of car on either side of
the street at the same time with the
street car hazard always to BIO reckoned
with tends to increase greatly the dan
ger of accidents to autoists in transit
as well as teams and pedestrians. At the
conference this morning several auto
owners were cited who drive their cars
to their place of business and leave
them there all day. The custom of using
Jefferson street as a parking place was
also discussed and one careful observer
said he saw l6 cars along that street
Saturday night. IT is believed that an
addition to the ordinances will be made
in order to prohibit the practice.
