“Jail Sentence” Re-

tion of John Cunco
THE PENALTIES
Ordinance Must Be Adv
vertised Again and
Will Become Effec-
tive After Xmas
The new parking ordinance was
amended by the Common Council.
last evening.
The jail sentence for second of-
fenders was stricken from that part
of the ordinanm: relating to penalties
for violation of the act.
This section as amended reads as
follows:
"Any person violating any of the
provisions of this ordinance shall.
upon conviction. be fined not less
than ($2) two dollars nor more than
(35) five dollars for the first of-
fenso. and for each conviction there-
after shall be fined not less than
(85) five dollars nor more than
($50) fifty dollars for each offense."
Corporation Counsel John J. Cu-
neo said that he thought the jail
sentence should be stricken from
the ordinance as it might effect the
legality of the act.
Councilman John Mills asked if
the Council had the right to nIIIoud
the ordinance and was informed by
Attorney Cunco that it had the pow-
er to do so.
Councillnunehlllls said that he
thought the entire ordinance should
be thrown out. and he voted against
the passage of the amendment.
The amendment will have to be
advertised in the proper form and
this will prevent the ordinance from
going into effect until after the boil-
days.

MERCHANTS TO
ASK WIDENINO
OE WALL STREET
.Want Sidewalk Cut
from River Street to
the Library Green—
Robins for It
ft. is expected that several uptown
merchants and business men will go
before the next meeting of the Com~
mon Council and ask that the side-
walk on Wall street from River
street to the Library grecn be cut
down to allow more parking space.
The sidewalk is extremely wide at
this place. Mayor Thomas Robins
and Assistant City Engineer Elmer
F. Bracken were uptown this morn-
ing. When asked their opinion on
the suggestion. both were in favor
of it.
The sidewalk probably will not be
touched until next spring. it is said
that four feet can be taken off the
walk without interferrlng with the
safety of the pedestrians. There
are several trees on the sidewalk.
which also probably will be remow
ed. The business men say that if
four feet is cut off the sidewalk.
there will be ample room to park on
the north side of Wall street in that
section. without delaying traffic
when trolleys pass. As this sugges-
tion met with approval from both
Mayor Robins and Engineer Brack-
en. it is likely that the Common
Council will act on it at the next
meeting. .
