 Establishment of the no parking ordinance on Main street in order to relieve the present congestion is arousing the merchants of that scc- ton 10 protest as they declare that the removal of parking privileges on the street during the daytime will affect business seriously. A petition to the city council to modify the or. dinauco is being discussed for pres cntation at the next meeting of the city board.
 The no parking regulation was de- cided upon after lruitless attempt of the city to relieve the congestion on the street by proposition to cut down the sidewalk space and incOr- porate the room, thereby gained, into the traycled highway. The mcr- chants and property owners protest ed so stronuously against the side walk cutting that this plan was abandoned and the no parking was hit upon as the only means left to improve matters to any extent.
 The situation offers many prob loms to the city board as the street is too narrow to permit Of tho pas sage Of a trolley car and another vehicle when vehicles arc also uarlicd at the curb. As a conse. nuonce many narrow escapes have taken place from serious accident and frequently traffic officers are called upon to untangle traffic u"sscs.
 The merchants believe that witt a limited parking, matters will i'm. prove, but tho city officials think that no parking at any time during tho day is the only solution of tho problem.
