ANT-PARKING ANDSPEED
LAWS MAY BE MODIFIED
Hotels, Theatres and Depart
ment Store Men Urge Changes
in Proposed Ordinance

Notifications Of the anti-parking and
auto-speed control ordinances to bring
them more in accord with the desires of
automobile owners generally are being
urged by proprietors OF hotels and theatres,
who have the approval Of managers Of sew
eral department stores in the centre OF the
city.
The bills, held back from Councils at the
last minute yesterday, will be presented
Tor final passage on July 30 at the last
session OF Councils before the summer re-
cess. which s many weeks later than usual
and will extend TO September 81. Any
changes that meet the approval OF Director
Safety, and Mayor Smith will be introduced
In the nature OF amendments and will be
made part of the bills.
Most Of the revising 1t Is said, will be
made in the antl-parking measure, which
has been declared too rigid by business men
and automobile owners II ls asserted that
to enforce the bills as now framed would
seriously AFFECT business
Those opposing the parking bill that
would practically abolish the privilege now
enjoyed by automobile owners say that its
passage would result in harm because of
the duplication Of trips from garages TO
places Of business and return IL is said
that the duplication OF trips would double
the daily movement Of vehicles I'm the city's
centre and make more difficult the work Of
traffic policemen stationed at the street in
tersectlons.
Director Wilson had planned the passage
of both measures with view to trying
them out this summer and suggesting any
changes found necessary in the fall. This
action was opposed by interests chat could
not be overlooked, and II is now believed
that the measures will be revised to a de-
gree that will make them acceptable to the
owners of cars.

JUST THE DIFFERENCE.

From the Keyser Mountain Echo.
The treasury of the West Virginia
Democratic state committee reports
that about eight thousand dollars pass.
cd through his hands for political pur-
poses during the campaign which
closed with the November election.
The treasurer of the Republican state
committee reports that in the neigh.
borhood of hundred thousand dol.
lars was expended through the legiti.
mate channels the money all passing
through his hands.
Some Democratic newspapers are at.
tempting to draw conclusions to the
disadvantage Of the Republican party
by calling attention to this great diff.
terence in the expenditures OF the two
committees, having in view an effort
to convey the impression that the De.
mocracy Of West Virginia conducted
a workable poor mans" campaign.
Only a few persons could be sus.
ceptible 10 such misrepresentation
The differences in the amounts stated
from the two committees represents
the usual result when one official is
a. mere figure head and the other per.

Democrats and Republicans were
all well Informed before the election
that if it were possible for money TO
swing West Virginia into the Demo.
cratic column the money would be
forthcoming. That information went
forth when Clarence Watson was elect.
