sabirday gaatiwnhsr luv abandoning parallel parking on the west side of main street lef ore it became law council on monday decided to continue with angle parking which has been lit effect for many years in this locality tstrong complaints from merch- ats were relayed to jjie meeting by cr walter gray who- said he had changed his mind after seeing the confusion resulting from par allel parking which has been the- custom since new lines were pain ted on the street in preparation for introduction of parking meters mr grays main objection was that the high curb on thir side of the street necessitates passengers debarking on the traffic area he also pointed out that almost 20 par- king spaces would be eliminated from an alreadyovercrowded fain street the discussion took place when a bylaw ordered last thursday was presented to make the change to parallel official opposed- on thursday only by deputy reeve sargent and cr hale monday found only crs fred harrison and alf sykes still favouring parallel parking cr harrison who as police chair man has been in charge of tiegot- iatfng for meter installation con demned council for shifting opin ion we have to make up our minds what were going to do if we change our minds every time some one objects well never get any thing done was his complaint as he pointed out that there is never 100 per cent satisfaction with any council decision personally opposed to meters cr harrison said it is the store keepers who want them angle parking in his opinion is a traf fic hazard reeve allen and cr sykes poin ted opt that white rmngs on the pavement have been placed in such a position that a ear 3 feet from the curb would be within the fnarkings yet would contravene the highway traffic act if parked this way tbe town could be in an embarrassing position if this cau sed an accident they said cr sykes who had seconded the bylaw motion changed opinion during the discussion and voted against it after listening to the discussion the merchants asked us for me ters but not for a change in park ing he said he suggested how ever that the angles might be flat tened out somewhat to get as mtich centre space for traffic as possible cr sykes said he is against met- ers as a parking solution the only advantage he can see is to give the town some revenue tm not worried about losing parking spaces when we introduce these nickleanatehing onearmed bandits he observed tbe mer chants want to keep cars on the move and parallel parking is fine it gives us more space to get ears off the main street and out of town winch is what the merchants seem to wane after the vote cr harrison said he was dismayed to find council not knowing what they wafted from one meeting to the next tve always said if i started something i would finish it he said hut after listening tonight im afraid tv hm to be against meters were all trying to do the best we can answered the mayor and if we make a decision and find we are wrong its right to change thats one main advantage in a democracy use privilege of chang ing ones mind- and mrs id mtedotk st the t ngageawst of their marie teresa to hatouft 4 see of mr sad mrs paid a nmartlage wffl oh
