A poll taken by the paper also shows that farmers are opposed to the installation of the meters. Personally, we resent it every time when we have to pay to park our car. Maybe we're old fashioned. Maybe we're just too tight. The last three times we have driven to Lincoln for supplies we parked in a meter stall. By the time our order was filled and we returned to the car there was a ticket for over parking three consecutive trips in a row. We didn't like it a bit, tore up the tickets and came home. Maybe the cops will take us in if caught in Lincoln we don't care, but if they do it will be a darn long time before we go there for sup plies again. Stay in the buggy, Ron, and let Plattsmouth customers con tinue to feel that they are wel come instead of inviting them to pay a nickle to park and then get the heck out of town or drop in another jitney.
