Parking signs have been placed in
the business section on Market
street. Only one hour parking is
permitted by city council between
a. m. and 8 p. m. In the business
zone. For many months city council
has been confronted with the prob
lem. Cars within this area have re-
mained parked all day, thus prevent
ing the trading public from getting
in the business area. The ruling
was passed. it was believed for the
best interests of the merchants and
the general public. II is believed
that the new ordinance regarding
