E.J.Friedrich Dear Sirs: We understand that the ordinance which was to come up in the meeting Monday evening regarding parking restrictions on Saturday, has been interfered with by the states check-up. In that we gave this matter a great deal of consideration and finally arrived at an ordinance that pleases both factions, we believe that it would be a mistake to further delay passing this ordinance. While we approve of the states check-up, we feel that to delay the parking ordinance for several months would greatly hinder our Christmas shopping season. We hope that you will pass this ordinance to eliminate all day parking except to restricted areas, as it now reads.
