Move Made To Afford The
Public More Parking
Spaces
Beginning: Friday, May 1, park
ing meters in Marshall will be
rigidly enforced, it was announ
ced this week by Mayor Lorado
Ponder and the aldermen after
passing Ordinance No. 184 re
garding parking in Marshall.
The move was made after long
consideration and study by the
town officials as to the best meth
od and one which would benefit
the most people.
Various methods have been
used in the past, including two
hour free parking, but this meth
od failed when many employees
and "all-day" parsers took ad
vantage of the "two-hour" regu
lation and left their cars parked
on the sitreet all day. The offi
cials also pointed out that several
firms were using the parking
spaces for "storage" of cars ami
trucks, thus eliminating imany
parking spaces for the trading
public.
Many complaints were voiced
!y rural customers who said that
they had much rather pay a nick
el for an hour's parking than to
circle the block or go from one
end of Main Sbreet to the other
trying to find a parking sipot.
Several months ago the park

officiaJs were hesitant to start
enforcing them until a thorough
study had been made.
