<br />surface parking lot. The lot has been offered to Mr. Coffman, of the A-1 Parking
<br />Company, but they are not interested in operating the lot at the present time,
<br />since the lease would probably,be for one year only. Mr. William E. Voor, Sr.,
<br />Attorney for Mr. Coffman, said because of the necessity of lighting the lot and
