Stuber RepOrts

Speed, with parking troubles in
Linwood received an airing before
the Borough Council last night as
the Solons debated passage of an
ordinance which at first limited
parking on the Shore Road to one
side of the street between Elm and
Maple avenues. The ordinance had
passed first reading and was due
to come up for a public hearing.
After three quarters of an hour
of debating, with Councilmen Gun
ningham, Pennell and Scull taking
the floor, and a few members Of
the rather crowded audience help
ing out, the measure passed on a
compromise which limits parking
on the easterly side of the Shore
road between Delmare and the
Northeast corner of Maple avenue.
This, Councilmen believe, will
eliminate to a large degree the dan
ger of turning from Maple avenue
into the Shore road, the scene of
number Of accidents in the past.
Before its passage, Councilman
Cunningham DECLARED that he de
sired to see Linwood retain its ru-
raj atmosphere, and was opposed
to a parking ordinance. Council
man Scull told the purpose of the
act, to make safer the Maple avenue
turn, while Councilman Pennell
brought to the attention of the body
the speed of motorists down the
Shore road. especially the Pennsyl-
vania drivers.

all properties had been made. and
that the date of Friday, March IS,
had been set as time for the pub
lie hearing. Mr.. Stuber declared
that they hoped to have the work
completed before the next meeting
OF Council.
The ordinance providing for
bond issue of $4,000 to pay for the
costs of the New Road extension

without a protest of any kind
An ordinance providing for two
general employees to work at the
