' APPKA1,
"After a careful survey of
llic parking probleniH of Lu
Grande It hits been learned thai
some of the congestion 1m caused
by business and professional
men (other, than doctors) and
Iheir employes parking cars for
hulf days at a lime on Adams
avenue. It has also been found
that the parking problem can
not be relieved to the fullest
extent until this practice is
abandoned. In the interest of
civic pride to make it more con
venient for shoppers in reach
our stores and offices, to assist
in solving an extremely difficult
problem, the undersigned civic
'organizations respectfully, appeal
to the cllis-ens of Iai Grande to
exorcise the greatest considera
tion for others in parking cars.
New regulations arc being pro
mulgated by city officials in
hopes of relieving the stress
without working hardships on
anyone, but the first relloi
should come in the form of J -a
Grande people volunteering to
slop prolonged parking on
Adams avenue, both during day
light and evening hours.

The narUing problem was gone

with a few new Ideas being pre

creation of two parkin? stalls im
mediately adjacent to tho loading
zones, and cars In these two stalls
would have a lime limit, to be de
termined later. 'I his would pro
vide for a more general movement
of ca rs, and allow more parking
for short shopping trips. It was
pointed out that some farmers
could take advantage of this, even

City Manager , W. (. Crews lias
completed checking the amount of

cent years. During the It 1 days
of the month, the city used exactly
8!i,Hi.",2n gallons or water, or an
average of LK7i.lMio dally.
Mr. Crews Is of the belief that

mark,- with other days ranging
downward to two millions.
The supply of water came from
