Free Parking Proposal Is Voted Down There will be ho change in parking meter payments in Lake Charles. for the present at least. That was the decision reached by the Luke Charles City Council at its Monday meeling. Councilman Isrcal LaFlour had intro- i duced an ordinance providing for free parking on Thursdays and Fridays, but the ordinance was defeatert.

When the ordinance came up for discussion. LaFlour presented a petition with 29 signatures favoring his proposal. Eight of the 29 signers were downtown businessmen. LaFleur said many of the city's parking meters were not bringing in enough revenue to justify their existence. He proposed some meters be transferred to Enterprise boulevard and Railroad avenue.

Some council members said Fleur's petition was not a suf-! ficient sampling and requested that Mayor Alfred Roberts conduct a survey of all downtown businessmen to get their opinion on parking meter policies. When LaFleur realized his ordinance did not really provide for what he said he wanted, he rotcd with other members to kill his ordinance. He plans to introduce another ordinance which will transfer lowrevenue meters from downtown to Enterprise boulevard from Broad to Railroad avenue and on Rail-: road avenue from Enterprise to Hodges street.
