J. Ballweg, chairman of the Edwardsville' Chamber of Commerce Olf-Street Parking, Street Traffic and Safety committee, met Monday evening with 10 downtown business people to discuss the oH'-strect parking facilities in Edwardsville. A general discussion was held on the present conditions of the free parking facilities behind the downtown stores on the east side of North Main street and it was agreed the area is in need of rc- paii. Trie group lecided to organize a plan whereby the necessary repairs could be made. The plan will require the cooperation of all downtown business people.

The group also expressed the opinion that Edwardsville is extremely fortunate to have these free parking facilities in such a handy location. Ballweg said that all phases of the problem were discussed and efforts will be made by these people to secure the interest of others who were not present at the meeting. No future meeting date was set. The plan is to contact the business people individually to solicit their fmamcal support. THESE TWO CARS MET HEAD-ON Monday about 2:15 m.
