HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls, Ore. Thursday, January 14, 1960 PAGE 8 A Park, Shop Corporation Hopes To Initiate Plan The Klamath Falls Park and Shop Corporation hopes to get it.-congestion-easing parking plan underway sometime next spring Charles Schuss, corporation vice president, said the group has sub scribed about enough money to be gin negotiations for the property (or the initial two or three parking lots. Facilities are to be financed and built by merchants and landlords. About 25 have subscribed and pur chased stock. The plan is modeled on similar parking arrangements which have spread to 78 cities since it first was tried in Allentown, Pennsyl vania, 11 years ago. It was presented to local mer chants last year by officers of the Klamath County Chamber of Com merce. They invited William Barr, president of the National Park and Shop Association, to outline the tctup locally. Under the plan, shoppers will drive into a Park and Shop lot. An attendant will issue a ticket. When the ticket is validated by a participating merchant, it en titles the bearer to an hour's free parking. Each subsequent valida 'ion adds a free hour. Validation vill depend on a purchase of mer chandise. The corporation has not yet set a minimum purchase price. If ticket bearers make no Bur- chases, they will be charged a small amount when they leave the parking lot. The plan Is not designed to be directly profitable. It has proved to alleviate traffic congestion in the cities in which it has been tried. ; Thus a shopping area becomes more attractive to shoppers, corp oration members say, increasing property value and, of course, sales. Plans call for parking space cov ering Main Street from Fourth through Tenth streets. utner corporation officers are Jim McGuire, president: Lewis VV.nyburn, secretary, and Al Hat- Ian, treasurer.
