I do not live in the corporate limits of Decatur and therefore am not entitled to the expression of my view regarding the meters. As a citizen of the county, and as a minister who passes through Decatur almost daily and does most of his trading In that city. 1 should be interested. I want to say that I do not believe that the parking problem is great enough to justify the installation of the meters. I wonder if there is not a desire to “keep up with the Jones" Involved. Larger towns have adopted the plan; we are aware of that. But we do not have the voluinn of traffic that the larger city has. Let us not think we are bigger than we are. In the first place the streets belong to the citizens. 1 know that question has been considered before the courts of other towns and has been discounted. But why must a shopper in Decatur be taxed in addition to the high prices that he must pay for his purchases. The argument that it would be easier to find a parking place is no good. We have seen other towns that have adopted the meters. We know their condition before and after the installation and it was not improved. The revenue derived from the meters did not seetn to help the city. In fact there was a question In the mind of the public as to where the revenue did go. Taxes were certainly not lowered. It is to be expected that companies that manufacture au< h equipment, will send out high presJUST RECEIVED New large shipment of gift wrappings, ribbons, seals, etc. You'll like the large selection.

sure salesmen to convince a town that their product is needed. It is I the same thing as the salesman' who comes to the door and talks to the housewife, only on a bigger scale. It may be a good product; It may 'be perfect; but the question is do we need it? Will it help us? .My conviction In the matter is that parking meters in Decatur are not needed and will be more of a nuisance than a help. I am of the opinion that most of the people of the county as well aa those of the city of Decatur, i if they will bother to express themselves in the matter, will be against parking meters.

To French Township Voters - In reflecting upon the school consolidation subject which is before us, there are several fads in regards to Monroe Township position which you. the voters of french Township should know. Approximately 6 months ago, the voters of Monroe Township showed by a straw vote compiled by the township trustee, a large majority wished to merge with French. Washington and Kirkland Townships in erecting a large centrallized modern school Io be located somewhere near the center of these townships. Last December the Berne School Board asked for the opportunity to come and present to the Monroe Township Community Organization an offer to merge with the School Town of Berne. Indeed it is true, the offer on the surface appeared Io be exceedingly attractive. then, upon careful examination, it was found to benefit the school town of Berne to a far greater extent than the rural area of Monroe Township. This organization strongly disapproved of any such merger and asked our trustee and advisory lioard who were present at the above mentioned meeting not to accept any such offer. However, we did fervently urge the trustee and advisory board (our elected representatives) to lake steps to merge with the three townships. To dale the opporlunity of an election such as you will soon have has not been given us. However, when the opportunity of an election is presented, let us assure you we will vote for the merger with Washington and Kirkland, and we hope, you 100. French, thus assuring us of undoubtedly a centrallized rural school system which will be of the highest type and efficiency possible to attain.
