Nearly all the unrestricted | section is occupied by practically the same automobiles every day during the l ordinary working or store hours. The | owners of these machines drive to their business, or work, and pack their ma l chs=es in that section to the exclusion ] of all other machines
 l At first these automobilists were term l ed as 'squatteFs," occuping space they | did not own so much so, that the whole | section is now known as the "squattefs' l Seclnsion." Under, the traffic reguia- 1 tions the owners of these machines are 1 fully within their rights.
 | Automobilists having business at the 1 post office or club, or who have other | business in the village center, are seri- ously inconvenienced. especially during
 l the hours. of congested traffic. One of 1 the squatters suggests that the thirty i minute rule be made applicable to both
 1 sides of High street, as it ought to be, ] but just so long as. other fellows were l allowed to squat, he would continue to be I 8 squatter.
 He added the public service cars try I to hog the section . aatween the library
 and the post office, and if some other l autonobilist parked there the tits would 1 consider him an unsurper Some day
 I'm going. to squat in that section; I've
 as much right there as any other automo-
 bilist."
