To Park or
Not To Park

ALTHOUGH City Attorney Her
bic Schendel has ruled that our
parking ordinance is legal. no steps
have been taken to continue the
overtime parking drive or is
sue warrants on those parking vio-
lations that have not been paid.
Judge Arthur Decker is weighing
the validity of the ordinance {.
and reliable sources indicate he
may rule that the whole thing is
illegal regardless of what
Schendel says.
Important point is that on two
previous occasions once back
in 1881, the police commission asked
the City Council to write new
parking ordinance one that
will hold water. Nothing was ever
done about it.
Enforcement of an ordinance that
will hold up in court might rub
a lot of fur the wrong way. It's
good government but bad pol
itics.
In the meantime lot of people
with parking tickets in their pock-
cts are waiting for Judge Decker
to pass an opinion. If the judge
says, mo SOAP" those tickets will
make a good bonfire and the
drivers who have already paid
across the police counter will ask,
What about our dough?"
