 Assessment of s2 to each traffic delinquent who is tagged in The fu- ture in no parking sections or who fails 10 observe the state law in re- gard to parking within I2 inches of the curb, will bc made, according 10 announcements from police head quarters. Since the acute situation has developed locally because of eX- irene careIessness on the part of motor car operators in leaving their machines parked in haphazard man. ners and without regard to signs the police have discussed ways and means of bringing home q reaiza- ton that rules must be obeyed. For merly a tag on a machine in no- parking section meant 6 warning at the police station. Warnings failed 10 be needed by some drivers. who ap- peared with regularity at the police station with tags.

In order that the owners might understand that the signs were 10 be recognized, Chief of Po- lice E. T. Belden is of the opinion that the S2 fee or appearance before the local court will be the only remedy. Accordingly the s2 fee pen alty will be used for a time to cor- rect the parking abuse, if possible.
 No parking signs were placed along the west side of Main street yesterday from School to North Main street were posted as several Main streets and along certain parts of North Main street. In addition q space was marked off in front of the police station so that the police cars may pull Up 10 the front of the sta- ton, instead of being barred out as has been the case previously on .
