 With the installa ton of electro matic traffic signals at the corner of Main and North Main streets, a revision of the parking ordinances affecting that particular section will be made. according to statement made by Mayo w. Raymond Crumb. Pavement trips, by which the signals will be operated, are now being installed and will be placed in operation. together with similar sig nals at the corners of North Main al Meadow, Center. Race, and North reets, about the middle of next week.
 The trips, over which autom obiles pass. are located on the right side of each approach a distance of 75 feet 'om the junction of Main and North Main streets This will, it is pointed out, necessitate the elimin- ation Of all parking on the east side of Main street for at least 100 feet south of the signal and for a simi- lar distance on the south side of North Main street. In the event such restrictions are made. it will be necessary to relocate the public service stand of Louis Berg, local taxi owner, and will also prohibit parking in front of business places within 100 feet of the corner of Main and North Main streets. Such action may result in objection from business men within the radius af- ferted by the proposed parking ban. although no protest has as yet been filed with the city officials. Parking Real Problem The parking problem in this city 1 is becoming q serious one and con- ditions. in the opinion of city off, cials, will grow worse instead of bet ter. At the present time there is but one public parking place centrally located and that is at the west end of tho Memorial boulevard Ap- proximately 50 cars can be parked at this point but the space is now taken up almost invariably at an early hour and is filled with parked cars throughout the day and early evening hours.
 Some time ago it was planned to increase the parking facilities on the boulevard by extending the present ! facilities some distance easterly but nothing has as yet been done. Ii was also proposed several months ago to convert Prospect park in the rear of the passenger station into [ parking ground but this recommen. dation was also tabled by the cit, council.
 It is probable that revision ol the parking ordinances will be con. sidered when the board of police commissioners meet early in March
