THE PARKING ORDINANCE.

The town ordinance regulating the
parking of automobiles in Railroa.
avenue and Mississippi street went
into effect last Sunday, and although
it has been in operation only few
days, it is generally conceded to be
q law Of considerable merit.
Under its provisions cars are re.
quired to park on the east side OF
the avenue and south side Of Mis-
sissippi street, and at such an angle
to the street as not to impede the
movement of other cars. A care.
ful observance Of the provisions OF
the ordinance makes it possible for
parked cars to barkTo and move
with ease and blocking and conges-
ton are avoided.
The general public seems to have
entered into the spirit of the law
with good nature, and despite the
fact that many cars are parked on
one side of these two thoroughfares
at all hours of the day the opposite
sides are kept free, and there is no
interruption of traffic nor undue in
convenience to any one
The law has worked we'll so far
and seems to meet all requirements;
and it's continued observance and en-
forcement will go long way towards
minimizing the danger to pedestrians
while crossing these streets.
One Of the provisions of the Or
dinance is that no car shall be park
ed within twenty feet from the in
rersection of -curbs. During the
week, force of men, under the su-
pervision of Chief Of Police Robt.
K. Dill placed small posts, painted
red, in the neutral ground near the
curbing, at distance of twenty
feet from each street intersection, so
as to mark off the space within which
cars must not be parked
