One thing that always amuses me about the people who insist upon digging up paid parking is that they never mention the disadvantages. They don‘t hothâ€" er saying that paid parking could kill the downtown section of this city as dead as a dodo bird. Afâ€" ter all, we are right against a number of shopping centres, all offering free parking and we are against Kitchener and while this city has paid parking, it also has about ten stores for each one in this city. Paid parking could torpedoe the very effort being made to get shoppers into this city . .. or do the planners of this move feel we have enough stores to keep people coming here reâ€" gardless of what they must put up with? What Ald. Wagner did not say was that if the loss he claims is to be made up through paid parking, then it will again be the taxpayers who pay the shot, through the oneâ€"armed bandits instead of the tax department. Now the Works Department employees are getting themsel ves a boost in pay. Wonder how many industries right now can afford to up rates for their emâ€" ployees? CLAIMING THAT WATERLOO taxpayers are losing thousands of dollars because this city does not have paid parking, Ald. Wagâ€" ner dug up the hardly cold corpse of paid parking and preâ€" sented it to council again this week. Usually this subject is the pet of Mayor Bauer‘s so at least the presentation came in from a different angle. JHS. PECULIARLY ENOUGH while Waterloo council keeps talking about ways of relieving the burâ€" den of the poor taxpayer, talk seems to be about all they do. Maybe its reasonable to counâ€" cil members to go ahead every year and grant increases to city employees but we doubt if those paying the shot feel the same EVER SEE A CHICKEN hatch out of an egg? Few city adults have ever seen this happen and almost none of the modern children have been clo: nough to an egg except at /breakfast time. Now you cap see this happenâ€" ing while you stand and watch, right in the comfort of the Waterloo Square. Promotion right now is on a poultry and bird show. Matter of fact we even have some pheaâ€" sants there from our Game Pre: serve. However, the eggs hatch ing are all in incubators and three of them are displayed in the window of an unoccupied store. NOTICE THE AREA in front of the new Loblaw store in the Square has painted lines for parking instead of the concrete monstrosities guaranteed to wipe the bumper and bottom off your car. Don‘t have any idea who was responsible for the concrete stops but have a notion they must have driven a horse and buggy. Our dog has been busy all winter watering our lawn (just to prepare it for spring) and the darn grass looks like a green and brown checkerboard. I susâ€" pect that numerous other dogs have also contributed to the demise of the grass but it is pretty hard even when you know the dog to charge his owner with four square feet of dead grass, although it might make an interesting court case.

WATERLOO (WCP) â€" The Unâ€" iversity of Waterloo was built on "faith budgeting", said Mr. Ira G.

WATERLOO (WCP) â€" The need for lowâ€"rental housing in the Twin Cities was brought out at a meeting of the Parents Associated. Some members of the group expressed feelings that there was not enough adequate housing locally compared to the income for their families. Since many members are worâ€" king mothers, the average net inâ€" come for .a month was set at about $172, including allowances for two children.

Speaking to Waterloo City Council last Monday night, Ald. Harold W. Wagner referred to the City‘s stand on free parking as "odd". The Alderman, who had visited a Traffic Conference a few days previously said that Waterloo had. excellent _ i facilities. He added that out of fortyâ€"municipalities, Waterloo was one of only nine that were fatality free last year.

He found that Princess street still runs smack through the front portion of the library builâ€" ding which was erected in 1903. So, theoretically, it is quite legal to drive a car on the library lawn and over its steps onto Albert street. "LOTS OF OTHERS" ‘"Therefore, Instead of thinkâ€" ing about a new building. we should he investigating the possiâ€" bility of boosting our equipment so we can make or remove ice in one day," he said.

TO STUDY ARENA NEEDS loo Arena commission decided at its meeting last week to start a longâ€"range study on its future needs which will include the boosting of its iceâ€"making and removal equipment and construcâ€" tion of an outdoor artificial rink. The likelihood of the Waterâ€" loo Arena being destroyed by fire, said the mayor, will have been greatly reduced once the $20,000 sprinkler system is insâ€" talled late this year.

In other late street openings and closings city fathers in the past few years experienced more difficulties â€" _ especially when they had to expropriate properâ€" ties. Mr. D. F.
