District Negotiating 10 Buy
400 More Parking Meters

Parking meters now ore pouring
about 100000 annually into the
city treasury and negotiations are
under way to buy 400 more of
them, the District Commissioners
were told today,
Collector of Taxes Guy Pearson
told the city heads the District has
4.l6l meters, They are generally
satisfactory, he said, but he would
like to see the present paper seals
on the coin collection boxes inside
the meters replaced by metal ones,
He explained the seals, which
must be broken to remove the
coins, frequently collapse in rainy
weather or are broken accidentally
before the boxes and their con-
tents are brought to his ONCE.
This makes 1t difficult to tell
whether the boxes have been
tainpered with, although no evi-
denCe Of dishonesty on the part
Of collectors has been uncovered,
he reported.
