Le- land, s. M. Davidson and A. H. An drews was appointed to investigate conditions at an early date. The base for the protests come from merchants on Church and Chestnut street where the five minute rule is in force The source of business conducted on these streets make the time very short and people owning automobiles claim that they cannot transact their business in proper manner in that time.
 As rule the ordinance is satisfac- tory as adopted with the exception of these streets Some criticism has been heard about the manner in which cars are parked in front of the Gen. ter church, for at the busiest part of the day the conditions become con- gested on account of the narrow space after the cars are left diagonally to- is the length of space that owners of cars are taking for parking their ma chimes. A pole in front of D. Miller's store was designated as the end of the space for this privilege, but some owners have used space as far south as Leland's store.
