Show WI NF ORD BU NCE 1/1 was in there. A man would probably be in there parked and ---?--- parked a co uple o f ro ws behind him . And they fin ally had t o put in parking meter s t o try and control it. SG: Well, I know the par king meters ar e n' t t here no w, so when did they take them down? WB: They were taken out, I don't know , somewh ere in the early sixties. SG: So they're out for over five years now? WB: Well, yes. They were a nuisance, though.

But when it comes to buying machinery, or an investment in anything, it has to go by the approval of the council. But the eve r yday oper atio n, this is pretty much the mayor's responsibility. SG: Do the voters vote for the mayor di r ectl y, or do es the council--? WB: Yes, it's elective now. Four year s. 17 |
