Mayor Studies Plan for Direct Bank Counting of Meter Receipts
Mayor Henninger considers a new plan to have parking meter coins counted directly by a local bank after pickup, eliminating City Hall counting and saving about $10,000 annually. The change would free space in City Hall and may relocate the Sales Tax Bureau. The mayor stresses no personnel fault and notes enforcement and collection costs as factors. A finance commissioner staffer would supervise receipts at the bank to meet legal requirements.

TV Vigilance Through Creek Clearing Planned
Public Works Commissioner Charles J. McPhail says Parks Department crews will clear brush and trees from Onondaga Creek near Tallman Street Bridge to enable a closed circuit television demonstration on June 16. The work extends south to Towers 5 6 and 7 to ensure a clear line of sight for television crews and public display. Mayor Henninger considers TV as a tool to guard against drownings in the creek. Parks Commissioner Paul A. Wells will deploy his men to clear creek banks where overhanging vegetation obstructs vision after recent high waters from Sunday's rain.
