' The parking meters should be helpful! in making more space available for temporary parking on streets. I believe the merchants who opposed their introduction would be better advised not to prolong! their opposition but de vote their efforts to provide more parking lots where' longer-term parking can be provided. If this is done it may well be that their fears will prove unfounded; that reasonable assurance of the part ing space, for long or short periods of time will attract more custom ers than under conditions prevail; ing at present; Bus Drivers Continue Tallis With Company PORTLAND, Ore., Oct 2-(-Union 'leaders and officers of two bus lines tied. up by strikes will continue meetings here tomorrow .' 9 W1UI m V;.J.
