fusion caused by present bus stops
and made constructive suggestions
relating to the placing of parking
meters, and of the disposition of
funds derived from them. If
meters are to be used to ease traf-
fic, he advised few meters on side
streets if for revenue, then the
side streets too should be includ-
ed in the plan for the meters.

though site would be donated for
the purpose.
