Mitchell who = felt such expenditure for addi- tional parking should not come from the taxpayer but from the motorist who was enjoying tke beach for the summer. Mayor Hodgson said that sev- eral attempts had been made by service clubs and private jn- dividuals to rent parking space to summer beachgoers but they had met with failure. “The only spot they seem to be willing to park is the Sem. jahmoo Park where they don’t seem to object paying the stip- ulated fifthy cents,” he said Ald. Mitchell said he wanted to help the merchants and yen- eral public, not hinder them, put he felt it would help all concerned if revenue was ob- tained from the summer motor- sts, ‘ Ald. Ed Irwin, head of the traffic committee, pointed out that in bringing the matter of meters up again he wanted the opinion of the residents and the merchants have again made themselves heard in sending in this petition. Ald. Mitchell said that a met- er firm is willing to install meters at 10 cost to the city on a year's trial basis and will re- moye them at the end of the trial period if they proye un- satisfactory. Ald.
