No Action on Parking on Oak Street Garnett
Garnett city commission tabled a two hour parking proposal for a second time. Citizens and merchants on Oak Street urged signs to restrict parking to two hours, while Commissioner Wilson opposed the limit for now. Commissioner Payne sought Chamber input citing a local poll showing little support. The board discussed leasing a square lot to the Chamber for employee parking and an annexation goal with John Deere for city services.

States Cut Truck Speed Limits In Fuel Crunch
An Associated Press survey shows twenty states lowered daytime truck speeds to 54 mph or less on major roads to save fuel, with seven others at 55 mph or below before recent calls. Nevada has no statewide limit. Many areas expect new limits as legislatures convene. President Nixon urged 55 mph for trucks and 50 mph for cars. Congress explores a nationwide 45 mph limit with highway-funding penalties for noncompliance.

Generating Plants Seek Coal Supply
Utilities operating 26 oil fired plants along the Eastern seaboard rush to convert to coal by early next year under pressure from federal energy chief William Simon. They aim to secure 350000 tons of coal weekly, risking higher bills and dirtier air, while EPA studies flag pollution issues at major population center plants.
