Two matters in- terest rue, because I think they are related. The council intends to raise Main Street assessments and they are worried about the parking problem. To my mind, if they raise the assessments, there may not the a parking pro- blem. Everyone knows there is only one pocket out of which come the expenses of business. That is the •consmner's pocket. And so, if assessments are raised on our stores which are already faced with the brunt of the cost of the new sewer, ,prices will be raised. When they raise ,prices,. away goes the business, or a lot of it, to other places. And so there is no parking problem. Simple? TAXPAYER.
