New Parking
Meters' Due
Much to the relief of Shelton
residents, two, three, and four
pennies may soon be put in the
meters and mean something on
the time limit. Mayor Frank Tra-
vis stated that the multiple me-
ters are being installed as soon
as the parts arrive and it will
take a little time to get them all
in working order, so until the
announcement is made that they
are complete, customers for the
parking meters are warned not to
put in any more money than the
one penny or five cents.
Mayor Travis stated that at
the time the meters were purchas-
ed the commissioners understood
they were to be the multiple kind,
but on arrival here they found
the meters weren't that kind.
During the first month of oper-
ation $699.50 was taken from the
meters; half of which will go into
payment of the machines. The
other 50 9er cent goes to the city
for maintenance and salary of
,mo,fier,, :Russ Gunter.
Jfft21 the machines are paid for,
half of the collection goes to-
ward their pay. The total men-
tioned above does not include an
entire month of 30 to 31 days as
they were not installed until after
the first of the month, Sundays
and holidays they are not in oper-
ation, and February is both a
short month and unusually plenti-
ful in holidays.

Goal Reached
On Seat Fund
A very fine piece (,1' work was

inr i;igh chool r}cently when they
lflcd4',:d themsch,es to raise ,$1000
in order Lo purc/mse extra-special
seats for the Junior High auditor-
ium. The school board had bud-
geted only enough money for the
regular styled seats to replace
those that were destroyed wien
the building burned some time ago.
Students wnted better seats and
took this means of securing them.
Bruce Sehwarck, principal of
the school stated that they went
over their goal of $1,000 by $66.
Two band and orchestra concerts
were presented the public last
Tuesday and Wednesday and it
was through the purchase of
these tickets to the concert that'
the money was raised.
Matinees were held during the
afternoon of the two days for
grade school students and the
Junior High students and the
public attemded the evening shows.
In addition to the assistlce in
buying the seats, the concert also
gave the Junior High School band
