Brunelle first say the boxes in -Fredericton,' New Brunswick last summer and ukider- stands that they are' also in use in Lindsay, On- tario. The boxes, which would be padlocked and emptied every day by the bylaw enforcemnt officer, would be placed along downtown streets. Brunielle wants the idea studied because he feels it is too costly for the town to chase parking offenders through the courts. If someone does flot pay a parking-ticket, a summons is issued requiring the offender to appaar in court te pay even higlier fine.' "'There are an awful lot of ticket. that are not being paid," Brunelle says, "The idea Is to save money."1 Thç councillor also belleves that it cost. the town too much money to prosecute offenders. "It is costing too much tecollect the fines, and it shouldn't cost the taxpayers to colleet them, "* he says addlng that mucli valuable staff time ip taken upin the. process. And every cent saved, is another cent the tewn can use to improve fadiities in the down- town core. "Every nickel we save is another nickel in the town's pocket that we can use to develop parking in the down- town, " Brunelle says.
