Set for State Fair
Fraternal day for the Oregon state

will be staged under direction of
the Oregon State Fraternal congress
with George H Weber of Portland
chairman of the committee which

ed by a brief speaking program at
which Governor Charles A. Sprague
has been invited to give the address

Long-Time Parkers
Crowd Out Customers
Shoppers and others desiring to
park at the curb for a short time in
many cities often can not do so be
cause the greater part of available
space is being used by persons con
nected with stores and offices in the
vicinity, states E. B. McDaniel, pres
ident of the Oregon State Motor as
sociation in quoting from a report of
a recent nationwide survey of park
ing facilities made by the American
Automobile association.
"Careful checks in some cities
have shown that while cars of bus
iness men and their employees con
stitute only 15 to 20 per cent of the
total cars parked," a report on the
survey stated, "the fact that they
are parked for long periods means
they use over half of the available
space-hours.
"The average time of four hours
and forty minutes used by managers
and employees of nearby businesses
in one city can be contrasted with
an average of forty-one minutes

used by persons shopping or patron
izing professional men. Thus, in this
case, each long-time parker used
up space which could have accom
modated seven potential patrons.
"The survey, undertaken to devel
op plans to help communities cope
with their parking problems, also
revealed that a number of cities have
found a way to remedy all-day park
ing by business people through pro
hibition of curb parking before 9:30
a. m. In one city, for example, it
was found that nearly one-third of
all vehicles violating the one-hour
limit in the central business district
were parked before 9:30 a. m.," the
motor association president said.
