Meter Opposition Is Raised by Merchants At Meeting
Merchants Division plans to send a delegation to the City Council meeting next Tuesday to hear discussion on parking meters. The Chamber of Commerce board passed a resolution opposing installation, citing potential loss of business and lack of safety patrols. Councilman Heaton supports meters calling them silent policemen, with public impact like a traffic light. A report from Leesburg and Eustis merchants is noted as favorable but initial opposition remains. A fish fry at Gilbert Park on Aug 13 will feature a council member as speaker.
