1955: Burney will help guide search for experimental farm

Oct. 19, 1950

COLERIDGE — Coleridge, as most towns, has a parking problem on Wednesday and Saturday nights.

Farmers who are late getting to town could, in some cases, just as well walk to town as park on the outskirts of town.

We wonder if the problem wouldn’t be partially overcome by painting parking stalls on the pavement in downtown Coleridge.

A check on a Saturday or Wednesday night would reveal that a good number of parking spaces are lost because of improper parking. Parking stalls should improve this condition.

Many other towns follow this practice; there must be a reason.
