GRAND CANYON, Feb. 14. Thirty thousand rainbow trout fry Petitions asking the Colton city council to establish parking restrictions in the business district were in circulation yesterday, and are scheduled to be presented at the meeting Monday night. Seeking signatures was Duke Blezard, store owner, who contended that business was suffering because parking places were not readily available. Similar agitation in the past usually met with the opposition of many merchants, who pointed to the absence of parking restrictions as a point of advantage in inducing shoppers into the business district.

Instead, on these occasions, forms were circulated among the mercantile establishments, under which store owners and employes would agree not to park their own cars in the business district. Those in charge of such a non-official movement argued that the problem could be handled adequately under such a method, without the expense of enforcing an additional traffic ordinance. In practice, however, it is now being contended, the plan failed both because the terms of the pledge in time were overlooked, and also because downtown workers parked in front of establishments other than those in which they worked University Student Ranks Are Swelled University of Redlands has 29 new students enrolled for the second semester, mostly freshmen.
