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,

the farmers if the business men
and their employes would park
