An Analysis of the Proposed Parking
Meter Project for Teague:
By the business and professional men and women of
Teague. 0
Do you believe in placing: an extra expense on all
car owners of Teague and vicinity for the privilege of
parking: their cars on our streets which would benefit
only a few and inconvenience many?
' }?*’* careful,y annal.vze the parking meter question and decide
whether or not we really need parking meters in Teague at this time.
What actual gam would the average citizen get from the installation of
parking meters, and what would be the price we would have to phy ?
There probably never has been a time in the history of Teague when
the congestion of cars parked on our streets was so great that you were
unable to get parking space within one block of Main Street in the busi
ness section between Third and Seventh Avenues. Therefore we do not
believe parking meters are essential. Also, we do not believe that the good
people who reside in the rural sections of our county, and who are our
customers and friends, would be pleased in having to pay for parking
their cars on the streets of Teague; which has been a free privilege since
the birth of our town. It would not be logical or wise to place the meters
here against the will of these people; especially so since our neighboring
towns are bidding for their patronage with open arms and plenty of free
parking space. Every person who comes to our town in a car is a poten-
tial customer. Do you want to place restrictions on these people which
might keep them away? What would be your gain, and what would be
our loss, if parking meters were placed in Teague?
1. Practically all those who come .to town early and stay all day will,
in all probability, occupy most of the free parking space, and those who
live in the rural districts and those in town who come late to do their
shopping will be forced to pay the meter demands for the privilege of
parking. If meters are placed in Teague at an approximate cost of $11,-
135.00, who will pay this huge sum? The car owners who are forced to'
use the meters. It is understood that our city will receive one-half of
‘-he revenues from these meters over a period of years. But, for an
example, say that the meters in a town of this size took in gross revenues
of $400.00 per month, and your city employed a man to police and check
them from 8K)0 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. at a salary of $250.00 per month, then
^riur_city w^uld have a deficit of $50.00 each month on the proposition.
2. If you come to town to see your doctor, your lawyer, or to buy
jewelry, variety store goods, groceries, dry goods, furniture, hardware,
drugs; to eat a meal, get a soft drink, visit a barber shop, or conduct any
other kind of business; you park your car, drop a coin in the meter. If
you are unable to transact your business in the alloted time, you must
run back to the meter, drop in additional coins or move your car. Other-
wise, in all probability, you would find a ticket on your car demanding
that you appear at the City Hall and pay a fine for parking overtime.
A vote on the meter question was taken by the business men of
Teague on about July 6th. The results were 105 against the installation
of meters in Teague and 28 for. On July 24,th a committee appeared be-
fore the City Council requesting to have an ordinance passed permitting
the installation of parking meters in Teague. This motion was defeated
by a vote of 8 to 2. The council in this same meeting did order an elec-
tion on September 1st which gives every qualified voter in Teague an
opportunity of voting on the issue. We believe this method of settling
differences of this kind is democratic and we heartily endorse the plan.
v *
Do you realize that the average person pays 31c taxes on each dol-
lar earned, and those in higher brackets pay more? So many of these .}
taxes are not visible, as they are included in the cost of the article. We -
believe that the placing of parking meters in our town will not only in-
convenience our owners, but increase your already heavy burden of ex-
pense. -----'
We believe the business and professional men and women of Teague
have been most liberal in their contributions to eveiry worthy cause that
has arisen. Namely, the Teague Public Library, March of Dimes, Boy
Scouts, Red Cross, and many other things too numerous to mention. They
assist in a moral and financial way in maintaining schools, churches and
our city government. Of course, we realize that without the goodwill and
cooperation of the general public we could not exist. We need you and
you need us. Therefore, we are pleading with you for your support in de-
feating the parking meter issue which we believe, if placed in Teague,
would inconvenience the people and be a detriment to business.
