REPORT OF STREET & ALLEY COMMITTEE The Street and Alley Committee, composed of Councilmen Pinter, Bestle and Glass, met with the Superintendent of Streets Harry Tomlinson in the Council Chambers January 23rd, 1952 for the purpose of devising some method of clearing the streets during the time of snow removal and for street cleaning. The Committee fully realizes that a ban on all night parking on the streets would create a hardship for a number ol citizens that do not have a garage or available space to park their cars. The Committee also realizes that to protect the health of the citizens it is necessary for snow removal and the streets cleaned at regular intervals, therefore we recommend that the parking of vehicles from the hours of 12 midnight to 6 A.M. be parked as follows: On the even side of the street on even dates and on the odd side of the street on odd dates. This recommendation includes streets now designated as state highways, providing this plan meets with the approval of the State Highway Commission, but does not include streets having parking on one side of the street. These will be cleaned by posting no parking signs. We believe that this plan will not only give the Street Department a chance to operate at night but will discourage parke rs that have garages or parking space to park their cars on the streets during the night. (Signed) Michael R. Pinter Cloyd Bestle '! Walter- G. Glass Councilman Hahn made a motion that.the report be held in the Committee for further study. Councilman Korpal seconded the motion.
