Many of the merchants in both
the First and the Second district
are protesting today against the new
traffic ordinance. They claim that
it is hurting their business. Mflr.
chants on the streets where no
parking is allowed claim that this
is driving the trade down into the
streets where tltero is 40 minute
parking.
The work of putting the parking
signs in place was completed today
by the police department and the
marking of the streets was started
this afternoon. A crew of workmen
will work during the night on mark-
ing the streets.
A petition has also been drawn up
by the Liberty Square Merchants’
Association and presented to the city
officials asking that some relief be
given them from the parking or-
dinance. This will probably be taken
up by the Common Council at their
next regular meeting.
