STREET DIRECTORS
ANSWER CRITICISM
Nothing But Objections to Rule
Restricting Parking About
Rodney Square.

In answer 20 the criticism voiced
by some residents for their tablinp
the resolution forbidding the marking
OF automobiles around Rodney Souare
the directors of the Street and sewer
department say they could not do
otherwise FOR the reason that they had
nothing but protests against the pro-
posed resolution before them whom
tho took UP the consideration of the
question. These protests were numer-
Gus and some very emphatic wheraes g
on the other hand there was NOT n
single person nor n written conmuni.
cation before the directors supporting
the resolution or approving of the
contemplated. measure. In view OF
Us, they claim, they could hardly
DO otherwise than lay over the reso-
luton for an indefinite period.
They did decide. however. TO stop ALI
parking on the Tenth street side OF
the park during the work on the new
library and the police department was
so notified and asked to enforce this
rule. This morning mo marking
standards We're placed at each end Of
the block but at one time no less than
SIN automobiles were seen parked
along the curb on the Tenth street side
ana right between the signs warning
against this very thing.
The directors feel this rule win
serve two purposes. II Will keen
Tenth street clear and free for traffic
ana II VIII give everyone a chance to
see now the park looks without the
ilne OF machines standing about the
outer edges of it. Should the plan he
found advisable the original resolu-
ton to restrict all parking may be
resurrected and enacted into a law.

completion before the commission this

The complainants seek reductions Of
so per cent on the ground that the
fan in the price Of the farm products
