City weighs meters to boost income and ease congestion
The plan projects annual bus stop and meter revenues rising to about 40 000, based on receipts for January August 1947 totaling 13 509. Opposition may come from South Loudoun Street merchants who say meters hurt business. Frederick county supervisors oppose metering Rouss Ave beside the courthouse and a new bus franchise could expand curb space needs. Winchester Bus Co blamed lack of Loudoun Street access for poor service, inviting a new operator to seek the concession.
