MUNICIPAL PARKING
 SPACE

When the inability of many motorists to find adequate parking space has the effect of discourag- ing trade it is human nature to seek a quick and effective remedy.
 New Britain is simply undergoing the same pressure for space that innumerable other cities have ex- periencsd and which In many of them remains only a partially solved problem.
 It has remained for sundry clti- zens and officials of New Britain to propose one of the most novel of plans yet offered-one carried out in very few places. This plan hinges around the purchase by the city of parking space lots in the north and south sections of the city, or else- where downtown If necessary. Ger tainly, if this unique scheme goes through, no city could do more. If 1t Is advisable, profitable and legal for cities and towns especially those on tourist routes- to provide tourist camps, then Ii certainly is as desirable to furnish free parking space for shoppers and others.
 The principal behind the two schemes are almost identical: Tour ist camps are for the convenience of touring motorists, while munich pal parking camps are for the con- venience of local motorists, and those from nearby towns whose owners desire to do business here.
 Tourist camps complete witt hotel keepers but aid merchants by making 1t easy for tourists to fint necessities In the town.
 A municipal parking space would serve a wider purpose and be O much greater value to merchant and the public.
 Automobile shopping is bi, factor in every city's trade now adays. When city's legitimat tradesmen find their patrons bein, inconvenienced and sometimes dis couraged they are justified in show ing a vital interest in the subiec and doing their bit of hard thinkin, to provide a remedy.
 | Whether sufficient citizens cal be accommodated at such parllinj places to make an appreciable den in the pressing situation is an angl that nothing but experience ca, prove.
 The cautious step to make a fuI investigation of what has been don In other cities to solve the parkin problem should produce som good ideas calculated to be ap plicable In this city.
