Ready Blames Stores for Parking Problem
At the first FWB City Council meeting as a committee of the whole, 17 items were discussed. Police Chief Timmy Williams reported on Miracle Strip Pkwy parking from a survey by Paula Applewhite and Gloria Peoples. Ready blamed store owners for the issue, urging them to ensure cars do not park where spaces are needed for shoppers. The committee also urged buying remaining unsold cemetery crypts from Southern Memorial Co. for 8508 dollars, paid from Perpetual Care funds. They recommended turning old radio gear to Civil Defense, dropping interest charges for Col. R. F. Miller on Jet Dr land, and seeking bids for a new Oakland Heights water well.
