Current Comment
On Varied Events
By Times Writers

A RECENT survey in Port
land, Ore, among motor
lists, conducted by a daily
newspaper revealed that a
large majority of residents of
the Oregon metropolis were in
favor of retaining the parking
meters. The meters have been
IN operation about a year or
so. They have proven uni
formly satisfactory. One sug-
gestion in the survey conduct
ed recently suggested reduc-
ton in price for those parking
less than one hour. Aside from
that, the meters were well
coined intellectually.
1t is only a matter of time
when Tacoma officials must
decide one way or another on
the meter problem. Merchants
in Tacoma are not agreed on
the ACCESSIBILITY of this method
of handling the parking prob
lem. However, an unprejudiced
survey in those cities having
the meters will show that the
machines have in every way
proved their worth. The initial
cost is not great, the machines
pay their own way, and even
tually return a large amount
into the municipal treasury.
Tacoma's treasury could stand
every penny thus obtained.
BROADWAY merchants are
still pushing the idea of a
wide street improvement pro-
gram. Well they may. Broad |
way and st. Helens ave-, too,
both need a "face lifting" OPP
GRAFTON. The only question is |
the ways and means and cost. |
Removal of the old street car
rails at the expense of the
city-is not enough. The thor
oughfares need undermining in
other directions. The streets
are sadly in need of resurfac-
ing. Better and stronger cleo
trio lights are also desired.
Much of the program for
improvement appears to hinge
on the share of expense to be
borne by the city generally.
This figure should be arrived
at shortly. Thereafter, bed
rock prices on the cost Of re-
surfacing should be available.
In any event, the project
should be hustled through at
the earliest moment. Spring
and summer will be here be-
fore we know it.

onto the porch, but he was near a

The longer he watched, the less
enthusiasm he had for watching.
There is simply not much pleasure
watching another eligible man
dance with the girl you love; and
in the process of teaching Gayle
naturally had to hold Jeremy quite
close, had to be more intimate with
him than might have been required
in an actual dance.
It was plain, too, or at least Bill
thought it was, that Jeremy en-
joyed the session Immensely. The
flush of excitement on his f a C e
proved that, and the bright anx-
iousness in his eyes. He wanted SO
to please Gayle, to learn, to be a
part of things. Jeremy had talked
