Newburgh merchants meeting at the Greater Newburgh Chamber of Commerce urged relief from what they call excessive meter maid zeal. Lt. Anthony Paonessa, traffic division director, refused to defend ticketing but promised talks. Proposals include five hour meters on side streets, two way traffic on key routes, and street painting. The group funded $1,000 to upgrade Christmas lights and formed a Broadway Merchants Promotion Committee with John Warrener and Max Aronciek appointed.
