Parking Limit
Legislation
Meets Opposition
Delay In Passage OF
Ordinance Tosses 1t Into
Lap Of New Council

Legislation before Bluffton village
council to set two-hour parking
hrnit In the downtown business area
was slowed down Tuesday evening
when Roy Hauenstein, of Hauen-
stems Bakery, appeared to protest
the restriction declaring that he did
not feel it was favored by majority
OF business men or residents of Bluff
ton.
Mr.. Hauenstein told council that
several other businessmen were to
appear at the meeting to protest the
measure, but apparently were de-
tained.
We feel that the parking restric-
tons will simply move autos from the
business district block away to
jackson street. Residents there will
protest when autos are parked con-
tinuously in front of their homes" he
told Council.
Councilman Edwin Badertscher
said that he had been approached by
other business men who oppose the
restriction. Upon his suggestion
council failed to give the proposed
ordinance its second reading. It will
now be held over at least two more
meetings, which will place it in the
lap of the new council.
Mayor David Riser told Mr..
Hauenstein that council had received
the request of the Business Mems
Association for the two-hour parking
law under the impression that it was
a universal wish.
The ordinance was given it's first
reading two weeks ago by council
and must be read at two more meet
ings before passage unless the rules
are suspended and quicker action is
taken.
The ordinance provides two-hour
limit on Main street from the post
office to the town hall and an all side
streets one block distance from Main
street.
Mr. Hauenstein told council he
would seek an expression of those
opposing the legislation either at the
next Business Mems association
meeting or by petition to council.
