Parking Meter
Receipts High
Total $989.96
For One Month

The parking meter receipt total
for the period ending May 9
lacked $1,000 of amounting to
1000.
Village Clerk Violet Morgan
edge gave the total as $989.96
and broken down into a weeks
receipts, it is as follows:
April IL, $193.54; April 18,
$20O.38; April 25, $187.5O; May 2,
$197.38; and May 9, $211.16.
1t will be noted that the week
ending April IS was exceptional
ly cold and damp, with the re-
ceipt total showing the least of
any of the five weeks.
However, the overall month
was the biggest since the install
lation of the meters.
Judging from receipts of other
communities, parking meters will
probably do land office busi-
ness during May, June, July and
August, when travel is excep-
tionally heavy.
Each month the village applies
on the total cost of the parking
meters, even though they still
are on a trial basis.
