New: Didinenec#Bensiie All i Night Parking On Duval St. Traffic’ Measure Passed! Yesterday Afternoon On| LUSCIOUS PAPAYAS Final Reading; But One Change Made Among the many varieties of fruits cultivated in the gardens of Miss Mollie Park- er, at her residence and nursery on South street, are a large number of large and luscious papayas. So attractive and tempting to the discriminating taste of some persons are these fruit that it is apparent that re- sistance is overcome, said M Parker, and persons have succumbed to the de- sire for this tasty fruit and helped themselves to some of the finest specimens. Up to the present all ef- forts to capture any of the marauders have been futile, Miss Parker si She has determined to personally, adopt drastic measures to protect her property and has issued a warning to that ef- fect. The City Council at a_ special meeting held late yesterday after- neon, passed the new traffic) ordinance on its final reading. There was but one change made in the ordinance which was pass- ed_on its iitial reading at a meet- | held on Tuesday night. The amendment makes Fleming | street a one-way thoroughfare | from Simonton to Whitchead,| going westerly, The new ordinance allows pz ing on either side of Duv at all hours, with that no cars will be permitted to park on Duval, between Eaton and Angela, for more than one hour, between the hours of a. m. and 7 p. m.
