The Family of H. M. Alley NUMBER' FORTY many complaints expressing ir ritation with parking difficulties, #ith the. nuisance of double park ing, and the common practice of all-day parking in the down town area. The experience of Burnsville ha 3 been the same as "that of practically all other towns - the effective control of parking has not been possible without using parking meters. The town board is convinced that uncontrolled parking has t nded to throttle businness in Burnsville, and has served to irritate shoppers, tour ists and others who come to town np laiiinai *■''—* A new ordinance passed by the town board prescribes the charges, the parking times permitted, and the penalties for overtime park ing. A copy of this ordinance is available at the town office. Three types of meters have been installed. Most of the meters, finished in standard aluminum color, permit parking up to two nickels and dimes, and the charge is one cent for each 12 minutes. Six red colored meters, placed on the square nearest to the post office, permit parking only up to 24 minutes. The charge is also one cent for each 12 minutes* ; Around the inside of the tow* ‘square, next to the grass cover j hours, the charge being one cent ! for each 24 minutes of parking i time. Parking violations, under the ordinance, result in a fifty cent fine, in care payment is made within 12 hours. Otherwise the fine is one dollar. For the sake of I convenience, and to avoid the ne & ssity of making violators go to the town office, five red “courtesy boxes” have betn conveniently spaced among the meters. When a violation notice in the form of a red envelope is placed under a windshield wiper, the fifty cent fine may be placed in the enve lope and deposited in one of the “courtesy boxes”. Parking meters will be in op eration only between 8 a. m. and 6 p. m. They will not be in effect on Sundays, holidays, or on Wed nesday afternoons, when stores and other businesses are closed. Rebels Rap Walnut 8-6 Dean King, aided by some hefty slugging, outlasted the Wal nut High School nine B—6 in a baseball game at Walnut Tuesday, May 15. The victory enabled Cane Rivrr to stay in the thick of the hot Pisgah Conference race. Cane River is currently nursing a 6—3 conference record, j Walnut came up with a single run in the second and added five more in the third to lead six to four at that stage of the game, but - the Rebels battled back in tlit* top of the seventh with a bar rage of hits that pushed across three runs. Kenny Hall led off with a single, Don Stiles and Dt an King followed with sucessive dou bles, and * Mirhael Whitson, a smooth swinging sophomore | catcher, enjoying his firse start of the season, cleaned up the ba*s with a single to right. King allowed six runs on eight hit* but aided his own cause with a single and a double in three times at the plate. Roger Banks and ter. hits and made three errors. * ■
