Powell, City Clerk, ex plains that other persons in an office or business can purchase a parking permit which will be good only at designated parking places, namely, in those meters painted green on side streets. Both Mayor Brown and Mr. Powell stress the fact that the City Parking lot on North Mul berry Street is open to the public and offers off-the-street parking free of charge for as long as re quired. The Mayor and Council urge more people to become ac customed to using the parking lot more frequently. Another stipulation of the pro posed parking procedure, as out lined by Mr. Powell, is that the designated person in any office or business who buys the parking permit cannot park in front of a business, unless loading or un loading merchandise. A parking permit is priced at $2.50 per month, the City Clerk explained. In addition, the price of parking tickets has been in creased. The first ticket will be 25c, the second tickets given after the first hour or so, 50c; the third ticket 75c; after this the ticket is SI.OO.
