ROACH PREPARING
 PARKING LEAFLET
One for Each Parked Car
 in Downtown Area After Midnight Promised

Leaflets will be distributed to mo- torists after January 1. for all-night parking after midnight in the down. town area. Police Supt. William J. Reach is preparing the leaflets which will contain summary of the ordinance banning all-night parking with a map showing streets where parking will be prohibited. He expects to have hundreds of these leaflets ready in few days. Patrolmen op night beats will be instructed to put one in each car found parked after midnight.
 The police will not enforce, city officials hint, the ordinance dras- tically in it's initial stage, but will gradually become flrmer in their en- forcement as habitual offenders vio- late the ordinance.
 Mayor Vincent A. Scully stated the public was worried unnecessar- fly about the parking problem which will arise after the ban goes into effect. He added some difficulty will be encountered at the beginning but with the cooperation of the public things will work out. satisfactorily for everyone. He said many who live close downtown will walk to work. The mayor objected strenu- ously to any idea of converting the Green or Library Park into public parking space. Suggestions by citi- zens that Randolph Gloves lot be need oc o V,oYIV ;oinol noryinU Int for all day parking, was met with no approval as that ianG brings in sub- stantial revenue in taxes

in the downtown area be decreased to make available more room for parking.
 Alderman Martin Sullivan, a member of the board of police com missioners, was one of those taking part in the discussion and he said that the suggestions will be present. ed to the police board. Mayor Vim cent A. Scully, in his recent annual message, said that the traffic prob- lem was one of the most important facing the city and would be given careful consideration during 1941. It is expected that a citywide traffic survey will be made by a special committee.
 Alderman George L. Kingston said that there were many complaints from motorists about busses stop ping almost in the middle of the road, especially on East Main street. Passenger car traffic is thereby de- layed, he said, and there is great danger of accidents when busseS stop suddenly without going to the curb.
 In some cases, MT. Kingston said, the areas set aside for bus stops are occupied by private cars, but in others there is plenty of room for the bus drivers to get to the curb. He suggested that police keep the stop areas clear and insist that the busses pull completely to the curb when halting.

Due to the stemming position of down. hill skiers the course was compar- atively smooth and promises to be better with additional snow.
