PARKING TIME ALLOWED AND COST IS CLEARLY SHOWN ON EACH METER

Our city's parking meters are being installed to benefit the whole community by improving traffic conditions. The police department requests that you help by carefully following the instructions given here.

When parking, tjje important

thing to remember is that you must turn the handle yourself to set the meter in operation. If you do not, the meter signal will stay at "Violation," and the patrolman will have to give you a ticket, Police officers will not be permitted to operate the meters under any circumstances, except for instruction of motorists when enforcement is first started. .After you insert coin, be sure to wind the handle in direction of arrows until correct parking time shows on dial, or you will not receive your full parking time. The coin automatically drops in a few minutes, so it is impossible to reset your time later. When you park your car, be

sure that your right front wheel is adjacent to the meter. It is unlawful for any person "to deface, tamper with, damage, open or wilfully break, destroy, or impair the usefulness of any parking meter installed on the streets." This law will be strictly enforced, and parents will be held responsible for damage done by any of their children who are minors. The parking meters are being installed to make more parking space available for shoppers ana people making short business calls. They also help to eliminate double parking, which slows down the traffic on busy streets and increases accidents. Your personal cooperation will benefit you yourself, and our entire community.

To the Public: Should the Illinois Central Railroad be required to restore local passenger j trains' on its line between Indianapolis and Effingham, 111.? This line provides a necessary and useful service in the handling of freight

to and from all the communities along the route it traverses.

But passenger travel is another story. Two passenger trains, when operated, . were used by so few persons that' both trains were discontinued March i, 1945 by order of the U. S. Government. At that time the Illinois Central was losing money at the rate of $75,000 a year on these two trains. Since then the general level of local railroad passenger business has declined and the cost of operating trains has increased. If these trains were restored the losses from operating them would approximate $120,000 annually. . The facts are clear. The operation of these trains between Indianapolis and Effingham would cause the Illinois Central to lose much money running two trains the public does not want and would not use. This would be an ultimate economic loss to the public without benefit to either the public or the railroad.

Facts'

The Public Chooses the Service It Prefers There has been a great change in the need for short'distance local passenger train service during the last 20 years. The private auto' mobile and buses have supplanted local rail service in all parts of the nation. Rail Travel Is Long Distance Travel People today use trains primarily for traveling considerable distances. Local passenger trains have practically disappeared. On approximate ly half of the Illinois Central mileage no pas' senger trains are operated today.

It Takes IOO Passengers w Mile to Pay for Running a Train At present costs for wages, fuel, lubricants and running repairs, more than 100 passengers a mile are necessary to meet train operating costs not counting the cost of providing and maintaining track and equipment. Losses Prove Public Does Not Want Local Service That the public does not use local passenger train service is clearly demonstrated by the lack of patronage on the Illinois Central's two IndianapoIis'Effingham trains when they were , in operation. In 1945 these two trains averaged only one passenger for every three miles traveled
