New York's solution to the parking
problem has pleased every one save
those citizens who like to park. There

thing. !.
Home Town Solution.
Still, ! wish that New York had
tried the solution my little home
town did. It went in for parking
meters. parking meter being q
never-payoff form Of slot machine
which is placed every car-width
along street. Drop one penny in
the slot and you are entitled to II
minutes Of parking. Drop two PEN
nies and you get "a minutes, three
pennies and you get So, and a nickel
entities you to an hour.
Nothing has done so much to en-
liyen life In our town as the parking
meters. The citizens who object to

weather, taxes, and why the fish

their lives quite q bit, and, as one
wife told me not long ago. she
blessed the parking meters with all
her heart.
Now Charlie has something new
to talk about at breakfast, lunch,
and dinner. He has become a new
man. am In love with him all over

forever-that is, II the parking
meters aren't taken away"
New Interest in Life.
The citizens who like the meters
also have . new interest in life, and
that new interest is cheating the
meters. At least half Of the parkers
do not use all of the time they buy,
so when they pull out the little clock

which signals traffic violation does
not show. Sometimes there are
three minutes left on the meter,
sometimes 10, Is, and, occasionally,
a whopping half hour.
So, round and round the streets
race the thrifty citizens, looking for
q free spot. It is a fast, exciting
game, calling for good eyes, knowl-
