PARKING ASKED
BY A.C, MEMBERS
No Action Taken on Proposal
by Commission - Garske
Claim Is Settled

Suggestion made by. officers of
the Association of Commerce that a
Commute pa..king ordinance be
passed by the city commission
brought on a lengthy argument at
the regular meeting Of the commits
sion Monday night. Explaining that
such an ordinance would cause the
same dissatisfaction among visitors
to the city as die the parable park
ing project, which was tried out for
month or two and then abandoned,
the commissioners were not in favor
of the new proposal, and no definite
action was taken.
The Association. Of Commerce rep
resentatives suggested that Comm
ute parking be put in fcrce in the
business district between the hours
of 8 a. m., and 5 p. m, OIL week
days. Something mast be doEe, they
said, to put stop } business men,
clerks and employees driving to
work in their autos in the morning
and leaving the cars parked OH the
streets in from of stores and other
business places all gay, thereby tax
ing up the create, part the park
ing space SO that peopl driving
into town from the surrounding ter
ritory are forced to park their ma
chimes several block, ut.
Would Build Addition
Permission to construct a tenpor-
ary wooden structure, about 30xS0
or 100 feet in size and one story
high, as an addition to the city au-
ditorium on the north side, was re-
quested Of the commission by II. p.
Goddard, secretary of the North Da-
kota corn show association. This
years corn show will be bigger than
any heretofore, Mr.. Goddard ex-
planned, and more room is badly
needed for the proper display Of the
exhibits. The city auditor was in
structed to ascertain from the state
insurance department. and the gen.
eral inspection bureau whether or
not such a temporary addition to
the municipal building would jeop-
ardize the city's insurance protec-
tion.
Upon request of the school board,
the commission agreed to recon-
mend to the county commissioners
that the penalty and interest on
taxes due on certain lots north Of
the present high school, between
Seventh and Eighth streets, be
abated providing the back taxes are
paid. The school board is willing
to pay the taxes, unpaid since 1918,
which amount to $2Ol.76, providing
the penalty and interest, which to-
tails $111.07, is abatcd. The prop
erty is part Of the block on which
it is planned to build a new high
school buildin. at some future date,
and is now owned by the county in
default Of tax payments.
To Ascertain Cost
City Engineer I. R. Atkinson was
instructed to prepare an estimate on
the cost Of installing white way
posts on Third street between
Broadway and Thay,r avenue, and
to prepare plans end surveys for
the establishment o. a 2O-foot alley
running north and ,outh in block 90,
Williams survey, and 16-foot alley
running north and south in block
1874, Williams survey, and block 80,
Northern Pacific second addition.
Establishment Of the alleys has been
requested by the property owners
to be ber' fitted tn h,reby
George Gussner .oiccd his objec-
tions to the extension o. water mains
on the south side, along Front street
from Third street to First street
and along First street from Front
street to Sweet street. Mr.. Guss-
ner owns considerable property in
that vicinity which would likely be
required to share the cost Of the
extension, which -va' asked in pc
tition presented by other property
owners week ago.
Garske Claim Settled
Taking up = claim of L. J.
Garske for $3.50 damages because
part Of his alfalfa crop was ruined
this summer by water carried off

system during heavy rains, the COM
missioners agreed to construct a
shallow ditch across the corner Of
the Garske farm which will carry
the water in the future onto the
Wachter land .-tead of permitting
it to .mrty ont, the Garske land.
