Police Chief
Hopes To Solve
Parking Problem
Relteratlng that little could be
accomplished without the coop
eration of La Grande citizens, pre
senting some figures relative to
overnight parking, and advancing
a suggestion to partly solve the
problem. Police Chief Clint
Haynes gave his ideas today pn
tho current parking conditions In
La Grande.
Mr. Haynes believes that If It
were possible to secure part of a
block on which out-of-town cars
could be parked tinder police
guard during shopping periods
Saturday nights, this would go u
long ways toward relieving lht
present sltuutlon. His ideas would
be to secure any available prop
erty close In, keep a police officer
on hand to direct traffic, and re
serve the portion entirely for cars
belonging to out-of-town shop
pers iinnhlo to find convenient
parking places on Adams avenue.
Mr.) Haynetf presented figures
for M,ondny and Tuesday nights,
showing the number of cars pnrk-
ed doin town over night and
lug tlie percentage of l.a Grundo
uutombbilcs in the group.
On the night of Aug. 6, there
were 70 cars parked on the streets
