Merchants Voice
Disapproval Of New
Parking Ordinances

It is expected that there will be
considerable opposition to the pass
ing of the new parking ordinances
as several merchants have expressed
their disapproval Of the new regula.
lions on the grounds that they Will
lose trade If cars are not allowed to
park on Water Street over two hours.
1t has been pointed out, however,
that the average visitor coming into
town would be more likely to stop II
he saw plenty of opportunities to
park, and that he would be able to
transact all his business and do all
his shopping in two hours. consider
ing the size of the city. If two hours
is not SUFFICIENT they can move their
car to the parking space in the
Square or cars may be parked the
whole length Of Mechanic Street on
both sides.
The opposition in addition to the
fret argument claim that the park
ing space in Depot Square is not SUI
ficent for the number Of cars. and
that if the law must go into effect
additional space will be required. At
the last meeting of the City Council
O committee consisting of Aldermen
Amesbury, Blaisdell and Chase was
appointed to look into the matter Of
securing additional space. The new
ordinances were given their first
reading at the meetino Tuesday
night, and it is rumored that at the
next meeting protest will be filed.
The principal objection is agains,
the item on parking limit, although
to some the prohibiting Of parking
on Bridge Street will seem rather
hard, as so many use this space. The
new laws will especially hit the en-
ployees Of the r. p. l;azzard factory,
so many Of whom have been in the
habit of parking their cars outside
the factory for hours at time.
