But still. when a merchant tells us his busine-s has fallem off hecause of them, that his custom-re drive on the Grass Valley, whooshand consider. Grass Valley men-“hants have said they hope the parking meters will stay in Nevada City and the Grass Valley City Council seems to be waiting and lstening as contrasted with the time it was hot on the project of putting them in. Then came a pause. Perhaps someone said: “Let Nevada City do ar first.”’ The pros and cons of parking meters, at any rate have been wel! debated. There is just one umpire who can make the decision; and that is the people of this city. If a majority. wants them, they are worth while. If a majority objects, they should be taken out at-the end of the experimental period of six months. That was the basis on which the city council agreed to gZive the meters a trial. And there is‘no way of telling for sure Whether the majority is for or against them. The streeis belong to all the taxpayers and they should have the say-so. — Chief of Police Solaro states that the vacant parking spaces are now largely occupied. by . out-of-towners and tourists. The suburban folks come in to do their shopping and can readily find a place to park. For two or thre pennies they can park their car conveniently.. eomplete their business and be on their war. As the Centennial Celebration gets under way Nevada City will need mlenty of parking «ace for *“ the thousands of visitc-who will come here during the rext’ two ‘or three years. If we have paring meters’ they will have a good chance of finding parking space and we think our Merchants will benefit. Another angle in the parking metér tproject is that the ‘city is making 4 clear profit of more than . improvements on which money should be spent, The streets are always with us, always wearing -out, always needing repairs and, in some cases, rebuilding. The Nevada City Ainport which belongs to all -taxpayers, needs constant improvement to build it up to. the modern landins much used before we know it.

Go lets take a good look at parking meters as a much needed source of revenue before we go‘to the polis and vote for or against, two or three months from now. After all” here is a way of taxing the sojourner as well s local residents, and, by now, most sojourners, are quite accustomed to parking meters, which are becoming almost as common through: out the state as hitching posts were in the old days. Disabled veterans who . ceiving compensation awards from are Veterans Administration may. soon find that the amount of their monthars check has been increased or de. creased. Veterans Administration is reviewing all disability compens&tion awards umder the new rating schedule established by congress in 1945. Umtil the new schedule went into effect. most awards were being paid under .rating schedules established by congress in 1933 and 19215. VA also considers the current conGition of the veteran’s disability when determining his new rating for compensation punpases. " Aibout 2155 per cent of the: awards tbeing paid to NortHern California veterans have already been reviewed by VA. Of this number, 40 per cent were decreased, 20 per cent incréased and 40 per cent not changed. VA estimatee that nearly a year will be required to review. remaining awards in Northern California. Tncreases in awards resulting from the 1945 rating schedule will be retroactive to April 1, 1946. ~ The review is automatic. VA requests that disabled veterans do not make inquiries about their cases while they are pending. Q: I’m a world war I véteran and I was married in Jume, 1945.
