Both groups have taken steps to oppose the Counties' action since it was lèarned lat weý,ek that the Coun- tics now h'Iave approved a by-law reguflating parallel parking on. the east side of Main Street and a one heur parking limit. it was disclosed at the Cham- ber meeting Monday evening that twenty-five businessmen had sign- cd a petition againist the recent by-làw and this petition did gain thie support of the Chaimber who are seeking a hearing, with the Counties Rond Commission on March 2nd. The Chamber at their Monday -meeting did have Messrs, Doug Simpson and Floyd Nicholson representing the Orono Police Trustees and Reeve Stone and Deputy-Reeve Wlkey represent- ing the Township of Clarke. Mr. Simpson, chairman of the Orono Police Trustees outlined happenings during the past yea- in respect to the parking regu- lations. He said that the TAitstees had requested the Counties to implement parallel patrking on thte cast sidle of M Street- as ~vUas th-e ome hwzparki-ig time limit. However on a later date they hadi asked that this de- cision be held up until the Trus- tees had had time to meet with -Ihe Orono businessmen. After such a meeting the Trustees had asked that angle parking remain on the east side of the street and that the two:hour parking time limit aise be maintained. Mr. SinWson pointed out that the Department of Transport had approved parailel parking. He further stated that the Countiies -were interested in having parallel parking on the east sie ae they claimed the present system did interfere with snow removal and -was a traffic hazard. H1e said that parallel parking on the east side would be held out some -eighteen inches fromn the curb se there would be no interference from the. high bank but in this he feit the County would gain very littie in the width for the travelled portion of the road. Both Messrs. Simpson and INichlson pointed out that the Police Trustees were now seeking an enforcement officer, to con- trel ýarking and enforce the parking time limits and that the iiecessary by-laws for t he sîde street controls are being drafted. 'The parking time limit will be enforced, they said. Mr. C. L. Gunter in speaking on the rçecenTtly passed by-law stated that a one hour time limit hardly gave customers adequate time te complete their shopping and business in Orono. Mr. *Nich- olson stated that thje one-hour limit would certainly, keep traf- fic movîng- but was in accord wîth holding the time limit to. two hours DeputV-eeve Walkev. ac meim- ber of the County Road Commis- Sion, outlinedthe action that'had been taken by the Commission and the County 'Council in passing the by-law. 11e feit that the Coun- ty would extend the parkinçe time limît to the two heurperiod and that this should cause ne problem 'H1e pointed eut that it was the pups f the Couinty oad qsys- New President ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, -THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 12th, 1970 OroChmber And Businessmen OJpposed To Parallel Parkling And, One Hour lgie Limit An Adult Evening Counseliing Service is eperating in North- umberland and Durham Ceunties.

He was aise quite adept at clearing the puck, from in front of his net. Orono wcre the ap..rcrssors in the, first baîf of the first pcriod and were able te keep most of the play in the Newcastle end. This began te change with New- castle coming forth with more control cf the game. Early in the second period Donnie Allun foiled' a two-man break-away on the partcf1Tw castie . However on the ncxt rush Newcastle scored when bbe Or- eno defencçs left a Newcastle player unguarded. On this play Don Allen made an excellent save on tlie first shot but when Newcastle passed bbc rebound te îheir unprotected player tberc was ne chance given te the Orono goalie. Orono came back within the ncxt few. minutes te tie the score when Dandy Eastabrooks beat the Newcastle goalie from a seramble in front of t he net. The rest cf the peried was scoreless. The battie betwecn the two clubs continued inte the third perîod where again hoth goalies ae,,d especially Allen wcre cailed on te make kcy saves.

Orone pulled their goalie in the lasb minute cf play but. a clear- ing pass by an, Oreno defense- man from behind the Oreno net placed the puck on a Newcastle stick for an easy score and bbc as.%urance cf a w6n. Besides Donnie Allen, Blain Mofat was possibly the besb player of the Orono crew having the mest ýsuccess in clearing the puck from bis own end and start- ing plays on their way. He gain- ed a lot cf ice time when ca1led, upen a number cf times te take a double shift. The Eastabroeke and Partridge bine was the best for Oreno.
