Butch, Labrador retriever, has

out of the island of Sardinia on
Badoglio's orders and with Gen.

Parking in
Driveway
Legal Now
A post-war construction project
for a number of Salem service
stations : came to light in last
night's council session when Al
derman Albert H. Gille unearthed
and asked for enforcement of or
dinance 3463 passed in June,
1940, which limits the width of a
service driveway to 30 feet max
imum. The ordinance gave concerns
having driveways wider than 20
feet a year in which to comply
with requirements, which limit
width of cutaway curbings ac
cording to size of propertyposi
tion in block, etc
Gille did not get a promise of
full enforcement, but the council
did instruct the city engineer to
paint parking places into drive
ways not me e tine ordinance
specifications and indicated that
when labor and materials are
again available the matter of the
changed curbings would be fa
vorably considered.
