TUESDAY IS SET
AS INAUGURAL
FOR CHECKING
RANKLING traffic situation
which has festered in Ashland
since adoption of parallel parking,
cluttering the business district
with erring delivery trucks and
double-parked private passenger
vehicles for hours at a time, will
come to a head Tuesday morning
when city police inaugurate a new
regime of cracking down on of
fenders in an effort to promote
greater public Bafety and conven
ience.
Starting at 8 a m. that day,
Chief of Police C. P. Talent's force
will see that all traffic regulations
- which have been on statute
books here for some time -are
enforced, with special regard to
the maintenance of a clear route
through the restricted area from
Church street on North Main to
the intersection of Third and East
Main streets.
Hourly checking will be made in
that district by Assistant Chief
M. P. Dunn, whose ad«iitional dut
ies will be shifted to other mem
bers of the police squad, the ad
dition of Patrolman Parker Hess
to regular duty coming as a cli
max to repeated recent protest
against intolerable traffic condi
tions. due chiefly to a lack of
adequate personnel to patrol the
town previously.
Talent said this week, “You may
quote me as saying that I heartily
appreciate the publicity and sup
port which the Miner has given
me on this issue.
"After conference with Mayor
Wiley and other city officials, they
have agreed to approve the extra
expense necessary to success of
the move. From now on we will
be able to keep close watch on
drivers and correct their faults.”
Rules will call for a one-hour
parking limit throughout the re
stricted area, double-parking only
when curb space is not available
and, if necessary, only for a per
iod not to exceed five minutes,
during which time a licensed driv
er must be in the car—which can
not be standing more than a foot
from the car at the curb.
Truck drivers will be compelled
to use back entrances wherever
accessible for loading and unload
ing, and to obtain a police permit
for stores where it is necessary
to use front doors.
Tickets will be placed on wind-

George A. Briscoe, city superin

“As formerly, the division line

the east side of these streets will
go to Washington school, with the
exception of those living on the
south end of Vista street, and all
those south of Iowa street. The
people who live west of these
streets or the extensions of them,
will go to the Washington school.
“Beginners whose age is six
years on or before October 15,
