Parked the Automobiles A La City of Indianapolis.
Indianapolis recently decided to adopt the same kind of boulevard lights used in Rensselaer and as a measure of reciprocity Rensselaer has decided to adopt the method of automobile parking used in Indianapolis, that is, to head the machine in to the right side at about a 45 degree angle. They can then be backed out without trouble and there is no lost space as there is when the cars are backed in at right angles with the street. The plan was tried at the band concert Wednesday night and worked very satisfactorily and all seemed to like the plan and it is.pmbable that an ordinance will be adopted requiring. all- stops ok certain streets to be made after this fashion. A great big crowd heard the band concert Wednesday evening. It was a fine concert and many rounds of applause greeted the musicians after each number. Our people are strong for our band and their appreciation is shown by the great crowds that gather every concert night.
