1t is safe to say that 75 per cent of
the minor accidents on the streets of
Casper Get as a result Of faulty
parking. Casper is no longer a
main street" village. 1t Is a bona
fide city. and It is high time steps
were taken to solve the many prob
lens which confront any speedily
growing community. 1t is certain
that among these problems, none is
more pronounced han the proper
control of automobile parking in the
downtown section.
In passing up Second-street from
Center to Wolcott not long ago, be-
tween the hours of four and five in
the evening, the writer of his edl.
torial was witness to htree different
accidents within a period of two
minutes. Can this sort OF thing go
on in a city which in so many other
ways is far in advance OF other com.
munities of n like size? Has not
Casper enough municipal pride. we
might say. TO take steps to see thai
the city ordinances are obeyed?
On the books of the city of Casper
is ar ordnance which requires all We.
hicles operating in the downtown
district of this city TO be parked
elong the curb at an angle Of forty
five degrees. This ordnance was
paced on the statute books to enable
motor cars to back out into the
street on as pronounced a slant as
possible. thus reducing the danger of
