THE PARKING HEADACHE

Serious consideration is now being given here to installation of tolcollecting parking meters through inc downtown district to help alleviate serious parking congestion A City Council committee surveying the situation has reported local merchants being two to- one in favor of the meters However we believe no one can expect meters alone to correct the condition completely
 Juneau is by 10 unique in facing chronic shortage of parking space for automobiles in the down town district Anticipating still greater congestion as new cars become available they really will day)
 any cities are starting to provide suitable off, street parking facilities All the cities grappng with this problem following uniform pattern, in the sense that they taking parked off the streets and finding places for them elsewhere.
 Detroit voters recently baloted four-to-one in favor of an underground garage to hold approximately GOO cars The project will cost an estimated $18l6,- 0OO which will be met by bonds, to be paid off over 10 years from parking fees. In Rochester, Minnesota, the city recently spent $l2400 for large in the business district, to be developed a parking lot
 St Louis, with a tough parking nut to crack, is at work on plans for 1000-car garages for the down. town The program there is for the city itself to provide the land and for downtown merchants to meet the of construction of the garages, which are expected to cost one million dollars each
 No such grandiose schemes as these are suggested for Juneau. To begin with the need is not SO extensive and financing is out of the question and would be outside the bounds of consideration even were the City treasury healthier than it is
 In mind is a far modest proposal-one which
