It was presumed, however, that this county would receive money to carry it from Saturday through the rest of the month, and that new allocation of funds would be made by the state office on June 1. The county received $11.760 from fund of appreximately a million dollars, last distributed by the TERC. On this basis, the county would receive $55,000 of the new money, but this amount would be more than ample to meet expenses here for the rest of this month, that it was anticipated the county allocation would be lean.

Work relief projecta, suspended when funds became short here when no May allocations were made for the state, are expected to be resumed, with the new funde, but reorganizing them may take a few days, it was indicated.

Plans formulated by the traffic committee appointed recently by Mayor Louis F. Wellmerling were explained Thursday by Perry J. LaBounty, committee member, to the retail interests committee of the Association of Commerce of which Milton R. Livingston 1s chairman. The co- operation of the Association of Commerce committee was solicited in the message and unanimously pledged after the plans had been announced.

It was emphasized that the traffie laws are to be enforced ously, but impartially. This fact registered an instant appeal. Further plans are being discussed which it is believed by members of the mayor's committee will resuit in additional free parking space on lots being procured through the efforts of the Association of Commerce. By this method, much of the congestion in the business district would be relieved. Add to Diagonals.

The mayor's traffic committee composed of Lewis Probasco, A. W. Tompkins, Perry J. LaBounty, Aldermen J. Kane, Fred C.

Olson and Willis Schueth: Chief of Police Paul F. Giermann, City Attorney Thomas S. Weldon and City Engineer Scott E. McCullough, is also engaged in working out a plan whereby additional diagonal parking for automobiles may be provided on certain streets, yet to be selected, in the business district. More cars may be parked through this method.

The slogan, "When you're tagged, you're it," will become effective Monday morning. Beginning at a. m. that day all traffic lations which now appear on the city books will be enforced without fear or favor. One hour parking zones will be re-established and police officers will mark cars an effort to prevent violations.

Double parking will be a practice the past except in cases where commercial vehicles are being loador unloaded and drivers will be asked to use curb parking space when possible. Courtesy Cards Out. "No courtesy cards are to be issued after Saturday," said Chief of Police Paul F. Giermann Thursday. "We look upon the issuance of courtesy cards as a discrimination.

When we do that, we merely issue a permit to a stranger in the city to violate a city ordinance. It's not fair to local motorists. For those who do not bring in their tickets, warrants will be issued and warrants mean court costs. We desire the co-operation of the public but can assure all drivers of cars that if they refuse to co-operate, they must pay. Leniency the part of police will become an act of the past." Council to Consider Byrl Bowman's Bond Beyrl Bowman, appointed last week as city park custodian, is expected to take up his duties and residence at Miller park Saturday following city council action on his bond for the office at a meeting Friday night.

Mr: Bowman succeeds C. E. Hill, who has been custodian for the last eight years. Mrs. Bowman will become matron, replacing Mrs.

Hill. Daylight saving time is another matter expected before the council. The Junior Association of Commerce has been promoting the plan and has circulated petitions which now bear hundreds of names in favor of the system. This matter was scheduled for consideration at last week's meeting, but was postponed. The council also will have before it the question of whether North Major street shall become North Allin street and the 1500 block South Wright street, Berenz place, in accordance with petitions from property owners, presented at previous meetings.

Public hearing on the proposals was held in the council chamber Monday night. and there were no objections. The judiciary committee, A. L. Sargent chairman, is expected recommend granting the petitions.
