and is looking for the issuance
of more tickets to violators.
Could it be that the council
members are expecting too
much in the way of revenue
from meters, that they're trying |
to squeeze more from the me-|
ters than they can produce?
Granted, ordinances are pas-|

sed with the intention that they |
be enforced. However, it would
take a mighty big police force,
even in a quiet peaceful little
community like Mount Joy, to
enforce every ordinance to the|
letter of the law.
What we're getting at is the,
fact that most law enforcement
is accomplished through public
cooperation. The more antagon-
istic the public becomes, the
more difficult it becomes to or}
force laws.
Parking meters never were
designed to create revenue thru
the imposing of fines. Purpose
of parking meters should be
(and in most cases is) to create
parking space turnover and to
make funds available for build-
ing and maintenance of parking,
areas.
There is a simple device be-
ing used very successfully in a,
number of communities to solve,
the problem of parking meter
violators without antagonizing]
the public. This is the way it|
works: |
Tickets as such are not issued.
Instead when a parking viola- |
tion occurs, the police ofice
places a courtesy envelope un-
der the windshield of the car|
that is overparked. Imprinted
on this envelope is a message|
something like this:
“Parking meters were
led in Mount Joy to create fas-|
ter turnover’ ef parking spaces. |
You have overparked and are|
therefore in violation. If you,
will insert 25 cents in this en-
velope and drop it in one of the]
special boxes that have been
placed conveniently around the
business district, no charge will
be preferred. If this is not done
within 24 hours, you will be
issued a ticket.”
This 25-cent charge will pay
for five hours’ use of this space,’
far more time than 99 percent
of the violators would ever use.
Certainly no one who has over-
parked should object to paying
this small amount. And this
method would certainly simpli-
fy the enforcement of the ordi-
nance.
We think this approach to
parkng meter enforcement
would encourage more use of
the meters and actually could
bring more revenue to the bor-
ough than the “slap your wrist”
technique of demanding more
parking tickets. And we think]
also that there would be a
a minimum of violations.
And while we're on this sub-
ject of parking meters we feel
that the set-back of meters a-
long Marietta avenue running
past Booth’s store has caused a
dangerous condition. While this:
set-back is the same as for oth-
er meter installations, it should
be noted that the sidewalk is
particularly narrow in the area
in question. Pedestrians using
this sidewalk should watch
their step. Someone walking a-
long there could be injured, as
there is not any too much
room. The condition is particul-
arly dangerous at night, as the
lighting is not the best.
WE LIKE THIS ONE
A confused motorist found
himself going the wrong way
on a one-way street in the big
city. An irate policeman began
to give him a going over:
“Can't you see the sign, |
‘ONE-WAY STREET’? deman-|
ded the officer.
By this time the driver had
collected his wits, and answer-|
ed:
“Sure I see it. What's eating
you? I'm only going one way.”
