And Parking Cars Also

The resumption of the. weekly
luncheons of the pep" Committee
OF the local Chamber of Commerce
was hailed with delight Tuesday ev-
ening by a number OF the younger
business men OF the community.
During a portion of the Lenten per
iod these luneheons were dispensed
with. The affair OF last evening
was held at the Episcopal Parish
house, West King street, and WAS
served by the ladies OF that church
In fine style and TO the qualification
of the diners. In addition to the
good repast there was the usual
feast OF reason and flow of soul"
or words 10 that effect, further ac-
centuated by several undeniably
lovely soprano solos by Mrs. Leon
II. Ware, accompanied at the piano
by Mrs. Elizabeth Morrison Liver3.
During The evening there were 4
number OF talks OF particular inter
est. Or. G.. z. Morrison spoke of the
congested appearance and condition
OF Queen street near the Market
House on Saturday nights, when
the sidewalk Is practically taken up
with market stalls and tho street
lined with market wagons He
thought the situation could be rem
edled and the committee will sug.
sest that the board of directors q
the chamber make study Of the
matter.
Manager A. c. Irons. of Central
Opera House, touched upon duea-
ton long discussed by business
men and citizens, namely, the iudis.
criminate parking OF automobile
and teams along the business sec
ton Of Queen street, especially on
Saturday nights. He thought Ma
tinsburg should have time limit
for parking cars and teams, just as
such laws are enforced In other
cities and towns. SO often parties In
automobiles Will drive up in front
OF mans place OF business. park
their cars and leave them their for
hours. Teams are also allowed to
stand FOR equally long periods
where they are hltched by their
owners. This matter will also be
made the subject for study hY the
committee.

Mr.. Fl. II. Emmert also addressed
the diners. relating during his re-
marks a bit OF local history dealing
with an attempt made some years
ago to secure more appropriate
public building for the city In place
OF the present Anticipated city hall
or market house. At that time some
is private citizens left under the
impression that the old city coun-
Gil would back them in the enter
prise, purchased lot now occupied
by the FIRE house on Fast Burke
street and the 16 arc still holding
the bag"
