Gal Cops Toughest In Salt Lake City Gals Take Care Os Parking Meters SALT LAKE CITY — W - The toughest cops in Salt Lake City these days also are the prettiest They’re the Meter Maids, women law enforcement officers who patrol parking meters in the congested downstown are to issue tickets for overparking. They have proved to be tougher than case-hardened policemen when the motorist tries to talk his way out of being given a ticket.

THB DBOATVR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DBOATUB, INDIANA

The Meter Maid patrol first was created in July, 1854. with the idea that the women would relieve regular policemen from meter patrolling for other duty. But the use of women to hand out tickets for overtime parking, improper parking, lack of proper vehicle registration and location of stolen cars has produced an unexpected dividend. A Lot Os Walking It has resulted in a great improvement in the flow of traffic through the metropolitan area. Police Chief W. Cleon Skousen said that because the Meter Maids had caused a greater turnover in the use of parking meters — parking at a meter for more than one hour is no longer permitted — downtown stores had experienced a 27 per cent increase in business.

This turnover is especially important because only 3,500 parking spaces are available for the 70,000 automobiles that travel through downtown Salt Lake City each day. Each of the city’s 12 Meter Maids walks eight to 10 miles a day, and some of the women wear out a pair of shoes a month. The group issues an average of 18,000 tickets each month. At the rate of SI or more for each violation this means at least SIB,OOO per month in the city’s coffers.

had inquiries about the system from such cities as Denver, San Antonio, Witchita Falls, Tex., and Washington, D. C. Several other cities have started similar programs. Chief Skousen has only praise for his “girls,” They are one of the most efficient and effective branches of the police force,’’ he w. —. ■■■ ■ ■■

said, “and because of them traffic here is much more fluid than in cities of comparable size.” Meter Maids wear badges the same as those of regular police officers but do not carry guns. “They have evan more effective weapons — parking violation ticket books,” said Skousen. a .f- l ‘ ~ 11 i—‘ 11 11 ■ *“* w ** m |
