Under existing conditions cars are left to stand as long as twenty-four hourd in the day on the main business section, thereby blocking out others who v:"ish to park only while transacting business that ordinarily would not involve more than two hours. We will be pleased to present arguments for this if you wish to have a general discussion on the matter and will so advise us. Respectfully submitted, MUTUAL BUSINESS MiBLIS CLUB By Geo.
