Man Dies on Visit Here-Elks'
 Flag Day Exercises Next Sunday, Whether the city council has the right to pass an ordinance prohibit- ing parking along the Memorial boulevard is moot question about the city today as the result of dis cussions which have arisen between the police and car owners who have been parking the last few nights in the territory adjacent to the Vet erans of Foreign Wars carnival on the, high school athletic field. The parking has resulted in several mar row escapes from accident and the police, in the interest of public pro- lection, have ordered drivers to go along. Some have done so reluct- antly and have contended that they are fully entitled to park on the public highway, according to the state laws.
 Therein lies the rub, as the police say, as the Memorial boulevard is not a state highway. It Is not even a city highway, as the passageway when opened was placed by the city council under the Jurisdiction of the park board and was styled as park way. Hence the park board estan- lished rules which allowed no park ing in a space set off near the june tion of Main street.
 As the boulevard is u@d by the greater part of the passenger car traffic to enter and leave the city, an opinion has been asked of Corpora ton Counsel William N. Derosier relative to the application of state highway regulations to the passage way.
