No machine will b£ allowed to be parked in the shopping district for more than 30 minutes at a time, but the section of the bill as drafted by the joint committee of the Council and the Chamber of Commerce prohibiting the parking of machines on Peach tree and Whitehall and several tribu tary streets unless in charge of a chauffeur has been stricken. This provision was considered to be espe cially discriminatory against women w ho drive electrics. Beaumont Davison, representing the Whitehall street department stores, insisted that this change be made, and that the parking limit time be made 60 minutes. He said that no woman could shop in 30 minutes. The zone in which parking is to be restricted was changed. On Peach tree and Whitehall streets it is to be from Forrest avenue to Mitchell street. The eastern limit is Pryor street and the western Forsyth street. This provision reduces considerably the limit prescribed in the original ordinance. No street car will be allowed to BUSINESS NOTICE.
