PARKING METERS
PROVE FAILURE
in STARKE, FLA.
FARMERS AND MERCHANTS
REBELLED AGAINST IN
STALLATION: DEMANDED
REMOVAL

STARKE, March IA FNS).-
Parking meters may be a life
saver to the city fathers of some
Florida municipalities hard
pressed for sources of revenue,
but they turned out to be the
biggest pain-in-the-neck the
councilmen of Starke have had
since the Camp Blanding boom
began.
Heavy traffic in this boom
town created parking problem,
with cars parked two and three
deep on the main business streets.
The boom also is demanding in
creased municipal facilities, the
cost of which is running ahead of
finances. The council hoped to
help solve both problems by in
stalling parking meters on the
main streets.
However, when the farmers
came into town and saw those
strange gadgets and discovered
that they would have to deposit
ia nickel in them if they parked
their cars, they rebelled. No,
sir, they wouldn't pay a nickel
for the privilege of doing bust
ness with any man.
Main street of this hustling
town assumed the appearance of
Goldsmith's Deserted Village;
and when the merchants gazed at
the empty streets and saw the
farmers driving to the outskirts
to do heir trading, they rebelled,
too, and descended upon the flus-
trated town council in a body, de-
handing the removal of the park
ing meters.
Once again Democracy tri-
umphed Parking meters are a
thing of the past in Starke. And
once again the embattled farmers
may park their chariots as, when
and where they please, for the
business men OF Starkc realize
that soldiers come and go, but
the farmers stay on forever.

possible for Germany's counter
