June 30, 1939 I want to enter my protest against the installation of parking meters in South Bend. I am famil: with their use in Toledo, Ohio. The people dislike them very much there and do their parking an( shopping where there are no meters. A number of meters have been broken and. in some cases the money in them has been stolen. I claim that the people have a right to park on the public streets of South Bend without any charge. All that is necessary is strict enforcement of present parking regulations. I have talked with many friends on this subject and not a one is in favor of the meters. So I suggest that you get the opinion of a number of people` before you install any meters, as I am sure the general public is against them. Yours truly, L. C.
