SOUTH BEND REPEALS DOUBLE PARKING ORDINANCE The South Bend city authorities have repealed the ordinance which permitted double parking. Motorists who go often to South Bend will be grateful for this much, but they will still have to spend most of their time in town looking for a place to park. The dangerous double parking system was a nerve-wrecker, even if it did not actually wreck many cars. But the city should have gone further in the business of cleaning np the mess, and returned to the old plan of diagonal parking. Th parallel method crowds out hundreds of cars. It is a source et vexation to visitors to the city, both because it limits the parking space and because it offers difficulties in parking a car. We drivers from the wide open spa- , ces of South Bend’s bucolic borderland are not adept at worming backward into A small space along the curb. And neither are some of the natives, for that matter.

home Coy ‘vosenherg t street will he paved and then controversy will he at an end hut this seems to be the only way in whichi the location of the paving will lie laid. Several times this spring and summer a different line has been set as the center of the street and it seems to be impossible to establish a line that is satisfactory to all the property owners. A correct street line oil Rosenberger street is hard to determine and after many property owners objected to the location of the concrete which is about to lie placed. City Engineer Weaver, at last Monday night’s session of the city council suggested that the curb line be placed at its correct place on Market street and the tree line at Van Buren street be taken as the guide and beginning at the center of the tree line draw a straight line to the Market street end. This is very satisfactory to some of the property owners hot objectionable to others and after considerable argument, which got iw where, the council decided to act upon the engiueer’B suggestion and,--if no change is made at the last minute the Cecil B. Coil Construction company will soon have the curb down and at last the line will have been established. Another objection raised by same property owners was to the grade The paving is being laid at a grade to accommodate some of the property owners along the east side or Urn street and those living on the west are adverse to having the street eel down in order to accommodate their neighbors. When the job is completed it will look different to some of them and it must be remembered that everyone cannot be satiated. A primary assessment roll resolution was adopted on the sanitary sewer just completed and Mr. Riley, of the Reith-Riley company was present at the board meeting s notified the counciimen and Urn mayor that the matter of reconditioning the streets torn up while the ditch was being dug, would be placed again in the original condition aft once. These streets have been left with a cinder top in order that the fill would settle before the paving was laid back upon them and it is now considered safe to replace them. In the matter of a petition presented a few weeks ago by Nappaaee citizens to order the removal of the Community sales barn the judiciary committee reported on conditions found at the premises and the fan committee concurred in the report. No action of any kind was takes in the matter and it was decided to have Mr. Stuckman meet with the board at a later date and come to a more definite conclusion as to the ultimate fate of the building. The committee reports that, the premises were in a fair state of repair and condition and- recommended no action whatever until further invests gations could be made.
