"didn't mind going two or three
blocks to find a place but coming

plaints from outside people and
they say they are going to shop

Restaurant customers do not
have time to j eat their meals
without getting a parking ticket,
Frank G. Myers, restaurant pro
prietor, maintained. He also ob
jected to parallel parking as go
ing too far in curtailing the n am
ber of parking; spaces available
The businessmen were urged
by John Beakey, highway: de
partment traffic engineer, to give
the new system a longer period
of trial.
"I don't think we have given
this a fair trial. Beakey said. "I
doubt very much that one-hour
parking with strict enforcement
would meet any greater favor
and it would; Increase doable
parking. ; J ,
Beakey pointed , out that his
department outlined the ! new
system at the request ot the city
council and said "the recommen

were based on our best Judgment
