Some of the special “Crazy Days” bargains include: a $15.98 suit for $1.98; an electric frypan, $14.98 value, for $1.27; a $249 living room suite for $79.95; and a $12.95 electric fan for $3.

At ten dents each, 510 over parked dais tagged paid far tlx courtesy. This policy is in contrast to that of many towns and cities in the state and elsewhere, who require payment of a dollar traf fie fine within 24 hours “or else.” The “or else” means that sum mons to court is drawn and serv ed on over-Hong parkers, usually resulting 'in assessment of court costs, frequently taxing .the errant motorists by $15 or more. Otherwise, the parking take for itflxe week ending Wednesday ‘at noon was $133.10, including $119.25 from on-Street meters and $13.85 from off-street meters. The city hoard of commtssdon ens delegated its parking metier operation to the recreation com mission as of July 1.
