NEW PARKING BAN
TO SPEED TRAFFIC
Additional Lights Ordered
and 0ne-Way Streets
Increased.

The Commissioners moved yester-
dsv 10 improve traffic conditions by
ordering the purchase of 125 addi-
tional traffic lights, placing further
restrictions on parking and adopting
number of new rules for one-way
traffic.
The order for the new trafhc
lights was approved on recommen-
dation by William A. Van Duzer,
traffic director. The contract went
to the Clifford Wood Co., the low
bidder, for $4,965.
The city heads, on the advice Of
Van Duzer, also ruled that hereafter
commercial vehicles may not park
at an angle on streets less than so
feet wide. except where loading and
unloading requires the services of
two or more men. This was designed
to prevent promiscuous angle park
ing on narrow streets.
Parking Limits Signs.
Because of numerous requests from
business concerns for one-hour park
ing restrictions in front of their
stores, to break up all-day parking
of cars, the city heads decided that
official signs limiting parking to one
hour, between am. and 6 pm,
could be placed, on week days, on
such locations.
