Monday night at their meet ing at the town hall they said, "Queen street from Ann to Front shall be one-way south." Maybe this time it will stick. Several months ago the board made the same ruling and several days later rescinded it. The board also accepted recom mendations on parking, from the planning board, and appointed Dr. W. L. Woodard to fill the place on the town board left by the resigna tion of O. T. Mundy. Braxton Adair, chairman of the planning board, presented his group's recommendations. The town board has specified that no parking be allowed on the north side of Front street between Orange street and T. A. Richards' driveway, 215 Front st. Parking Angle Reduced Parking on Front street between Queen and Craven wfll remain as it has been except that the angle of parking will be reduced on the south side of the street. Loading zones will be provided in front of Way's fish house, Davis' fish house and Ramsey's grocery. Adair ex plained that portable ramps will al low trucks to unload while parked at an angle. The board recommended that parking meters now available be placed on the east side of the 100 block of Orange street, on Front street from Turner to Orange and on the south side of Front street between Queen and Pollock. The board recommended that no parking be allowed on the east side of any cross street which runs north and south. Exceptions will be that portion of Turner .street which is already marked for park ing and Pollock street which is wide enough to allow parking on both sides. On Queen street at the south end two parking spaces will be metered on the west side for commercial loading zones. The commissioners instructed the town attorney to draw up an ordinance embodying the foregoing recommendations.
