Mayor A. Maitland Adams, City Commissioner Hunter Hard- en and City Manager Ralph Spalding had previously, opposed a lease with the Duncan Meter Company to install new parking meters in the city. The mayor warned that “the people would rise up in anger” at the proposed deal. Adams argued that the city now owes only $4,800 on its present meters.
