They said he . | had accomplished a great deal, work- ing against many severe handicaps and unjust criticism. Mr. Blanton touched on the recent “attempt by one of the Commission- ers to put a ban on all-night park- ing.” He said that this “would have 000 cars to sell thelr cars or to pay exorbitant rents to profiteers who :might hur- riedly attempt the building of garages, ] 5 which, of course, was something un- | thinkable. It was not the traffic di-| rector who was trying to force that | on the people here. It was a Commis: | sloner. But the traffic celved the ‘cussing.’ " The traffic director i« “almost with out power in sonle instances to en- | force the law,” Mr. Blanton said, “be- director re- . | cause we have not given himsufficient power.” Mr. Beedy sald that the trafic con- | ditions here are deplorable and that | Trafic Director Eldridge is ‘‘excep tionally and splendidly equipped for | the position.” e said Mr. Eldridge should have *“the wholehea Ny Treat sove throat all day—~wherever you are Sore Throat is a danger signal—it should be given antiseptic treatment continuously until it is cleared up.
