ANNOUNCEMENT
To the Citizens of O’Neill and Trade Territory: |
For several years a parking problem has been de- {
veloping in the Business District of O’Neill. There has I
been much discussion in a search for a proper solution.
Complaints have been received from Farmers and
Tradespeople alike. Most persons agree that there is no I
basic lack of parking space, but that it has not been prop- * |
erly regulated to provide the most convenience for the i
greatest number of people.
The use of Parking Meters has been suggested.
Flowever, there are still considerable objections against
them. More recently the Chamber of Commerce has re
quested the City Council to consider the use of two-hour
parking limitations within the Business District. This is
considered one method of control which might be the
least disagreeable.
The City Council has agreed to cooperate, and is in
stituting, effective immediately, two-hour parking reg
ulations for the main down-town business streets on a
trial basis for 30 days. Please bear in mind that this is
merely an experiment for 30 days. We are asking for
your voluntary cooperation to make this experiment
work. We are seeking a solution which will provide ad
equate parking for the Farmers and Townspeople alike.
Hours of regulation will be from 8:00 A.M., to 6:00
P.M., all days excepting Sundays. We will be glad to
have your observations and comments.
