Oifnnl-iAM I Knforrement of n parking lim it on Adams uvenue and parking of town cars on side streets was in-Red by cjiambor of commerce and city officials when interview ed today on the subject of park ins. . No action either by the city or Ihe chamber of commerce, could be forecast today. The Interviews ure us follows: "My: position is that It Is en tirely ridiculous for either busi ness "men or their employes lo leave their ears on Adams uvenue all day," said A. W. Nelson, pres- blent of the chamber of commerce. "If the police liepartment will en- j force Its parkins rules and the business men and their employes , use a little reason, tourists and farmers will be able to park their; cars In front of business houses. . "Saturday nlsht Is only ono problem," he continued, 'as the situation exists more or less overs I day of the week. The Saturday n iff lit problem, however Is partlc- 1 ularly bad during harvest. A Comimiulty Problem "It-Is a community problem anil It Is up to the people, with the co operation of the police, to solve it. If they are going to shorten the parking period, this will require another policeman to take care of the enforcement. This .mlKht bo a Rood temporary relief measure to educate the people In reference to parking laws." ' A. H. Hunter, recrftuvy of the chamber of com m erne, said that his feeling about the problem Is similar -to., that .ex.pVfNsed' 1tvl", editorial in last night's Ihhuc of The Observer. "Hut I wonder how we're going to check. II." he said. "The business men and their em ployes should either leave their ears at home and walk to town or park on some side street. Satur day evening on the farm 1m the hardest one In which to get to town. 1 know from experience. It is that night when the hired men want their pay checks, and other things come up to delay1 depar ture for town. "It is a big problem. However, lot in ore room could be made for the farmers if the business men and their employes would park (t'ontinucd on l'HBi Three) COOL NIGHTS, WARM DAYS TO MARK AUGUST After a few days of slightly cool er weather, the mercury raced back Into the iMis here yesterday, iilthnugh (he nights remain cool.
