KWCHENER PARKING FACI- LITIE$ stink and cold weather prettier. Talking to numerous King Street merchants in Kitchener. we find all of them agreeing that thg parking of trucks and particularly in reserved see? tions, is completely idiotic and unnecessary. They also used some pretty lurid language in describing the truck drivers who constantly take up space left for the private car owner, often times when there is truck space available. In most cases this is done because the driver is too damn lazy to car- 'd his goods a couple more eet. Smelly part of the whole parking picture in Kitchener is that the out of town truck driver, who contributes noth- ing but noise and dirt, is gett- ing away with it in comparison with old John Public who paid for that lousy strip of pave ment through his taxes and is now paying for it again thro. ugh the thieving parking met- Being in Kitchener almost every day we must admit the street parking in that city smells every bit as bad as mer- chants claim. Trucks have no place on the main street of my city and particularly one where parking is in such lousy The merchants point hope- fully to proposed change in the city and think the Park- ing Authority will be able to give them more space. This is strictly dreaming. The Park. ing Authority is doing the best job they can, They can't do much more for they haven't a thing to 'red, with. - 1.11.3.

An increase of 554101: the North Ward helped boost the jump in population. The East Ward Purchased Gas From Western Canada Ontario Natural Gas Storage and Pipelines Limited, a whol- ly-owned subsidiary of Union Gan Company of Canada, Lim.. ited, which serves natural gas throughout most of Southwes- tern Ontario, today began pur- chasing gas from Western Ca- nada, under a contract with the 'rtamrCanada Pipe Line' iCompany. Deliveries of the gas are be- ing made under a 20-year con- tract which assures that On- tario Natural may take deli- very of up to 20.5 billion cubic feet of gas during the first year. The annual maximum available under this contract will increase each year for about " years, until it reach- ea a level of 64 billion cubic Ctrineident with firat deli. vu-y of the Western, gas, deli, varies under one of two con- tracts under which Union Conn my has been 'reteting In from the United Stet“ will cease.
