Experiment:
PARKING meter
STUDY ORDERED

Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen
announced today all manufac-
turers of parking meters will be
canvassed for suggestions of spec1-
fications for the Districts meter
experiment.
There are nine such concerns in
the country. A committee, com
posed of Director of Highways
Herbert C. Whitehurst, Traffic Dl-
rector William A. Van Duzer and
a member of the Bureau of Stand
ards staff, was appointed to re-
draft specifications yesterday,
after it was found that those al
ready drawn were faulty.
Meanwhile District officials were
somewhat confused concerning
the outcome of the experiment.
No one seemed to know whether
it was intended to experiment
with all nine of the meters or
whether, by competitive bidding,
the experiment would be reduced
to one type.

The family of Policeman Will

today.
There's a big leak in the roof Of
the Savage home at 1902 Massa-
chusetts Ave. S. E. For the time
being, it can't be fixed.
The reason the Savage roof
leaves the Savage family vulnera-
BILE to a drenching is just another
link in the chain of vicissitudeS in

FINED $50
Last Saturday, Savage was
found guilty in Police Court of
violating the District regulations
by constructing an addition to
his home without obtaining a per-

violating the zoning laws because

in Washington? For one Senator Elmer
Thomas. For another, Representative Jack
Nichols. And by strange coincidence is
it strange?-both these gentlemen hail from
the State of Oklahoma. And remember, one
of the great businesses of that State is pro-
duction of parking meters.
The delay in placing the meters is unfortu-
nately only temporary, and one of these days
we will all be dropping nickels in the SLOT
And when you drop that Nickel you may
be forcibly reminded that this is just another

An Editorial

District residents have been granted
temporary reprieve from another tax "a

If it hadn't been for protests from Con-

been opened yesterday for the installation
of some 80 parking meters along down.

have started putting out nickels any time
he or she found place to park.

Commission.
President Harry B. Mitchell, of
the commission, pointed out that
by the time the orders are placed
in effect, February l, 1889, thou
sands of jobs probably will have
been exempted by additional exc
cutive orders because of the i'm
probability of placing them within
the classified civil service.
Many of these positions are now
exempt and listed within "Sched-
ule A" of the civil service rules,
and, after pending Investigations,
will remain so, Mitchell indicated.
Typical of such are inspectors of
river gauges on farms, Weather

work.

ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION.

Rev. w. Lowell Jacobson left for
Spokane Tuesday afternoon to at
tend an important meeting of the
pastors and laymen OF the Nor
wegian Lutheran church, who were
to come for the meeting from all
parts of the Inland Empire. The
meeting is to begin laying plans for
celebrating the one hundredth an
niversary of the founding of the
first Norwegian Lutheran church in
America. That church was founded
at Muskego. Wis, in 1843 and a
celebration of the hundredth ami
versary will be held at that place
in 1913.
An interesting note in connection
with the forthcoming celebration is
the fact that the grandparents
of the Rev. Mr.. Jacobson were mem
bers of that first church.

Rev. Orr Resigns;
May Go To Washington

r At a congressional meeting OF
the members of the Presbyterian
church last Thursday night, the Rev.
r. w. Orr rendered his resignation
as pastor of the church, and the res
ignation was accepted with regrets
by the meeting.
Rev. Mr.. Orr has received an in
vitation from a church at Wilbur,
Wash, and is considering accepting
it.
Rev Orr came to Libby eight
years ago and in that time has
taken d great and untiring inter
est in furthering the work of the
church. He has held the local pas
torate during a difficult time-the
depression-and accepted more than
his share of the burden resulting
therefrom, never faltering in striv-
ing to keep the work moving along
He. has been ably assisted in his
labors by Mrs. Orr, who also has
always taken a keen interest in the
activities of the church. Both Rev
and Mrs. Orr have made many warm
friends here, not only in the church
but in the community at large.
These many friends will regret
their departure, and will join in
wishing them every success in their
new field.
