Parking Meters Collect $3,278
The secret is now out!
On their first four months trial, the parking meters in
Caldwell collected the staggering total of $3,278.45, according
to Clerk Violet Morgareidge. ...
Of this amount, one-half or $1,639.21 has been sent to
the Magee Park-O-Meter Company in Oklahoma City, Okla.,
and a similar amount placed
in the parking meter fund for
the village.
Gas Rates Upped
In County Area
Coal Run Consumers
Will Be Affected
Higher gas rates were approved
for customers of the Ohio Fuel
Gas Company by the state util
ities commission last week.
The 227 parking meters were
installed in Caldwell on a six
months trial basis. If they are
retained bv the village, the
amount already paid in will ap
ply on the purchase price of $15,
327.00.
Should the parking meters be
removed, the company will con
sider them as being rented to
the village of Caldwell and the
money received from the village
will appply on a rental basis,
with a possible refund.
The parking meters were in
stalled in Caldwell on October 15.
From that date to Nov. 9, they
collected $745.43 in pennies,
nickels, and dimes.
From Nov. 9 to Dec. 9, $815.17
was collected. From Dec. 9 to
Jan. 9, the amount jumped to
$820.33, and for the past month
from Jan. 9 to Feb. 9, or Monday
of this week, the receipts reached
the all time high of $897.52.
If the parking meter receipts
during the winter months run
this high, it is cxpected that dur
ing the summer at least $1,000 if
not more will be collected month
ly.
The parking meter fund is used
by the village to pay ,the salary
of the parking meter custodian,
Jack Oliver, and the street clean
er, Homer Cunningham.
One old time resident remarked
this week ihat if the parking
meters never served another pur
pose, other than keeping the local
streets cleaned, that should be
sufficient.
Hereafter, a monthly report on
parking meter receipts will be re
leased by the village council thru
the clerk, Violet Morgareidge.
