NOTICE

Last week the constablcs of Bing-
ham issued a request which was print
ed in the independent Reporter, that
the time TOR parking cars, between
preble street and the Wentworth Gro
Gerry store be limited 70 five minutes.
This WAS done as an honest attempt
ON our part to relieve the dangerous
and congeatcd condition Of the street
in that section. which is much narrow
or. than in other sections Of the viii
lage. OWING to the fact that the
Post Office and Wany Of the business
houses are located in this section
helps To increase the number OF cars
and teams stopping there, for bust
ness purposes, while thOsn parked
merely for loafing places adds much
to the congestion.
We regret very much that our no
tice should he misunderstood, and that
any ono should attribute any desire
on our part to discriminate or in
iure ANY business house or particu-
lar section OF the town. Surely two
of the conslables who approved OF
this move were located IN that sec
ton. and one of them the heaviest pro-
pert owner there.
We considered that it would be to
the advantage of the citizens if they
were permitted To get near the Post
once to deliver and get their mail
also that it would he of advantage
to the business houses if persons de-
string to transact business with
them could have opportunity to APP
proach by auto. Inasmuch as many
do not share our views in this mat
ter and that we being appointed by
the people to represent their wishes
in such affairs. we hereby give notice
that we rescind oar action and in the
future shall not in any way interfere
