adeem li pi u mg ef stop signs are parking restrictions necessary ever since the twoliour parking re striction on mam street was imposed earlier this year we have wondered if georgetown is big enough to warrant such a measure and whether we are not imposing a needless restriction on shoppers true our main street is short and there is not always room to park but under the old system we have never heard any complaints otlier than that merchants took up too much room themselves by parking their own cars on mam street instead of on side streets this in fact is the only improvement which has been noticed since the restriction was imposed and we think an occasional reminder by the board of trade would accomplish as much and leave a better feeling among shoppers and visitors even this has been side stepped by several merchants who make it a point to move their cars every hour or so to mother location on main street so that they are within the law but out side the spirit of it a farmer who was nickeel a dollar recently was bitter about the fact that although he had exceeded the parking limit there was pie nty ef room on the street that day and he could not see why he should park a block
