I'll say here is one who would
think many times before taking

In my humble judgment the
persistent violation Of parking
regulations would be reduced to
a minimum with the adoption of
a schedule Of penalties somewhat
along the following lines:
Equip all traffic officers with
punches similar to those used by

Upon the first offense punch

Upon the second offense punch
