A TWICE-A-W EEK NEWSPAPER ‘MONDAY AND. ~ THURSDAY NEVADA CITY.GR The County Seat Paper ASS VALLEY. CALIFORNIA 2 SS —— ee We hope the city council will give residents of Nevada City a chance to vote on whether or not parking meters are to become a _ permenent fixture. § This vote will have to be taken toward the end of the six months trial period. We should exercise our choice before the parking meters, under the contract with manufacturing company, attain the same status as the sidewalks. The car drivers most benefited ty the meters are those ‘who come into town to shop. We have yet to hear any complaints from ‘out of town shoppers who now can always 2 find a place to park, and at a trif. ling cost leave their cars adjacent to the various stores where they do . their shopping. Complaints have heen heard, a great many of them . from the business men themselves, a who declare the meters are driving their customers to Grass Valley . where there are no pafking meters. Under the old rules parking was free up to an hour’s time, but often "it was very difficult to find a vacancy ' and shoppers complained that busimesg men left their cars along the fetreet and they, the ones who brought business to une city, had to ; hunt high and low for a place to leave . their cars. pWe have heard merchants declare ‘that their business is falling off as a of the meters. Just how they about pinning the blame on the meters we would not know, because business can fall off for a great variety. ‘of causes, some of them seasonan some of them due to the factor competition. But. in event; if they bring s6me.affirmative evidence % bear on their claims, we believe is entitled to serious consideration, Very serious.

Mayo. He spoke of “the rough going the bill may get in the assembly and stated it is a bill for a dong range picture from which every man. woman and child will eventually benefit. The average cost to a motorist, according to Mayo, would be less than 5 cents per day or $16 a year. In re‘turn he would receive a greatly improved system that would ultimately mean money in the car owners pocket through reduced insurance rates and car maintenance. He referred to the short sighted policy ‘of oil interests who are hindering the program. California is receiving over 30,000 people a month as permanent residents from eastern states. California has the largest registration of motor vehicles in the US and by 1965 it will have an estimated 8 million cars. All of this points out Mayo, means that California must “act with a bold approach to an even greater etate than we now have. J. RUSSELL BODLEY .
