To Fight Injunction
On Parking Meters

City Attorney Nicholas Orem, jr..
was authorized by the Hyattsville
City Council last night to fight two
lnjunctions against installation of
parking meters in the town.

tions to Newton Properties, Inc, to
prevent meter installation at the
Queens Chapel Shopping Center in
West Hyattsville, and another filed
by businessmen applying to down.
town thoroughfares.
Mayor Caesar L. Aiello said it was
evident to him that the injunctions
are designed to delay and confuse"
the City Council. The meters have
been ordered and standards have
been erected, but an ordinance for
parking meters has not yet been
passed.
Budget Increased S10.646.
The council increased the current
budget figure by $10,646 on recon-
mendation of the Finance Commit
tee headed by Councilman H. Will
son Spicknail. This would absorb
nearly all of the estimated surplus
of $1,000 at the end of the fiscal
year were it not for previously un-
anticipated revenue amounting to
S9,883.
The increases approved last night
were for the following purposes:
Salary Increases for police, 81 100;
road workers, s1.5O0: garbage and
trask collectors. $l.500: posts for
street signs. $500; additional street
lights. $1,000 insurance on the new
$4,000 warehouse, $1,000; raise in
the retirement system budget, $500,
and the balance for additional
equipment and costs at the ware
house.
360-FoOt Building Opposed.
Because the council plans to ex-
tend Forty-fourth avenue, it voted
to oppose request by Lustine

from Baltimore boulevard. The
Maryland National Park and Plan
ming Commission was requested to
withhold approval of the building

missioners referred to the council an
application by Mrs. Mary H. Mann
for the transfer of class A, of sale
beer license for Kennedy's Market,

agreed to take no action because the
board previously had failed to fol-
low recommendation that no
license be granted to the former

Gil expressed the opinion that the
store is too close to the Hyattsville
