PARKING. SYSTEM
MAY BE CHANGED

force a new system of parking on

Mr. G., pale „ of the Department
of HighWays. at Stratford; will be,
invited to confer With the Village
Council in this .matter at the

A letter from Mr: Dale, read
at the October Meeting,' inferred
that parallel pirking might have
to be adopted.
L. D Barrett, district engineer,
had reported to, gr. Dale on the
difficulty -, experienced by snow-
plow operators in passing through
the Main Street when lined ' with
cars:
' It isapt only a Winter prob.-
