Part-Time Operation v" ' , -Is Om BsggestkHi T&t"JkSi One such suggestion was that the meters operate only in the af ternoon, thus encouraging fore noon shopping when there is no scarcity of parking spaces. Anoth er proposal was that within each block i there be some parking spaces with meters and some with out. Still another was "penny and ' nickel" parking meters, a penny payment calling for shorter-period parking. One writer said this . system worked well in Pocatello, Idaho. - : Others favored methods of im proving the parking situation without the' use of meters, by re storing 45-degree parking lines and . eliminating parallel parking on High street. Some of the "no" votes were emphasised by notations that the voter j"would shop elsewhere if the meters went in" or "wouldn't shop la any store that permitted meters out in front."
