He has, however, paid his fine. In a letter to Town Council, Council, the tourist stated that parking spaces were hard to find when his wife visited the downtown on July 19. At that time, parking on the main street was limited in order to allow the Sidewalk Sale to occur. ' In his correspondence, Richard Beckett explained that his wife and another tourist paid the parking fees at a meter but then had to drive to another part of town. This time, she parked on Silver St. because all the available meters were taken and because she planned to be gone no more than 10 minutes. When she returned to her car, she found the ticket had been issued. Mr. Beckett said in view this seems of the circumstances, seemed unfair. "It tourist attractions in your town are meant to discourage discourage visitors from patronizing patronizing local merchants, penalize penalize those who choose to visit your town unfairly or prejudice prejudice use of normal facilities," he said.
