IgLlOMS STAGE CHRISTMAS T
IP PARTY FOR KIDS—TOESPAW
The problem of sufficient park
ing space on Roanoke Avenue and
on other business streets this week
and especially on Friday and Sat
urday has led Frank D. Wilson,
president of the Roanoke Rapids
Merchants Association, to ask all
merchants and clerks to keep their
cars out of the parking areas of
the business sections on those two
days.
The situation was even acute
yesterday and today and, with Fri
day and Saturday the last two
shopping days before Christmas,
Mr. Wilson wanted to be able to
assure those from out of town that
every effort would be made to
furnish them parking space near
the business sections.
It is felt that if merchants and
clerks will park their cars on side
and back streets, at least Friday
and Saturday, the situation will be
considerably relieved. Folks who
live in the business sections are
also asked to move their cars from
those sections and not use that
area for garage space for an un
limited period of time.
With Jackson Street now closed,
on account of paving, the situation
is even more serious this year, as
some of that space was utilized in
past seasons of a business rush.
A part of Hamilton Street has been
opened and is available for park
ing by merchants, clerks and those
who live in the business sections.
The Merchants Association, thru
President Wilson, asks for all pos
sible co-operation this weekend.
One Week
Left To Get
Auto Tags
Next week will be the last week
to get city auto license tags before
city police obey orders to issue
summons to all owners of city cars
driven on the streets after Janu
ary 1 minus said tags.
“Feed everybody out of the same
ipoon”, was said to be orders giv
3n the police in regard to issuing
summons to appear before the
Mayor’s Court and show cause why
city license tags have not been
purchased and are not displayed
on the front of said vehicle.
There is another week, this next,
before the ordinance goes into ef
fect. The same week, also, is the
last one can drive the car or truck
with a 1938 State license tag. There
is no indication the time limit will
be extended by the State and the
Patrolmen will probably be busy
checking the highways and city
streets after Jan. 1.
