Members of th* Morehead City town board tussled for1 three hours Thursday night in ? special meeting. The sub ject? Parking meters. The meeting was called at the re quest of Police Commissioner D. G. Bell who said the board would hsve to set a policy on parking meters. He remarked that complaints were being received since Headline Hat Syracuse, N. Y.? (AP) ? This newspaper hat, worn by Alice F. Keegan, women's editor of the Syr acuse Post-Standard, follows the continuity of her "By the Way" column which features unusual wo men's hats seen and worn about town. Miss Keegan wore the hat at a recent luncheon honoring the 11 Women of Achievement who re ceived awards from the Post-Stand ard. The hat is fashioned entirely from pages of the Post-Standard Touches of color are added by flor al effects made from the comics. The newspaper's masthead is used on the band for accent and cut outs include millinery fashions and items from the women's pages. ?the nickel met en went into opera tion and he (elt that the board should get together and decide what's what. Commissiotfer Bell firit asked the romniaaiwieri. "Do we want parking meters or not?" The com miaaiocn ra agreed that they should be retained. On that basis they decided that 1 1. Even body parking in front of a meter must pay to park, except government cars on official business and the fire chief's private car when he is uaing it. v I. The meters are in effect iji accordance with the rules on the meter head. This includes Wednesday afternoons. 1. If persons living in private homes wish to park in front of their home and a parking meter is located there, they too must pay to park. Letters notifying them of this ruling were mailed out Tuesday. Commissioner Bell said that po licemen patrolling the streets car ry $2 in change at all times and persons needing change for the meters may get it from the officers. lie added that people have com plained that they returned to their car as an officer was writing a ticket and the officer still handed it to them. Commissioner Bell said that officers have been instructed that they are not to issue a ticket if the driver of the car returns prior to the time he has placed the ticket on their windshield. He also said that since the nickel ruling has gone into effect, there are many meters left with time still on them. He suggested that motor ists look at the meter before rush ing around trying to find change because it may be that they can park without putting any money in the meter. Commissioner Bell said that money should not be put elsewhere than in the meter. Placing a coin on the windshield, if the motorist expects to stay longer than an hour, encourages petty theft, he said. Should someone take the coin, the motorist would claim ttat he had placed it there, the officer' would claim that it was not there and the upshot would be an un solvable controversy that could end up in court. Legion Post Exceeds Quota Beaufort Post No. 99 of The American Legion has exceeded its membership quota for 1954 accord ing to information received from state headquarters of the American Legion I* HaMigh.
