Meters Showing Steady Increase In Collections Since Being Installed Gross Business Reaches The $5,000 Mark There are two sides to every cuestion and the one side in favor of parking meters is the fact that the revenue being col- fected from them is helping the borough fathers in meeting bor- ough expenses. This fact, in all probability, will be a factor next year in keeping taxes down. The parking public has evi- dently decided that parking meters are, and have been something that must be “put up with” as each week the monies collected have shown an in- creased $5,000, and, as the say- ing goes “that ain’t hay”. Mindful of the fact that the first $5000 has given the bor- ough extra police protection and taken care of a lot of oth- er incidentals, the councilmen. at Monday nights meeting, de- cided to amend the parking me- ter ordinance which will re- sult in the installation of addi- tional parking meters through- out the borough. The amendment was passed only after a five-to-one vote was taken with Elmer Zerphey, council president, casting the opposing vote. Favoring the amendment were the following councilmen: Les- fer Hostetter, George Groff, James Spangler, Lloyd Myers and Maurice Bailey. Streets To Be Metered Additional meters will be placed on: west side of North Barbara St. to Mount Joy St. west side of S. Barbara Street to Sassafras Alley; south side of Marietta Avenue to Henry St.; N. Market from Main to Apple Tree alley, and S.
