first place in Dist 4 with 41 com-
munities and a $100 award. We
moved up to 2nd place in the
state with a $400 award. 157
communities and 26 counties par-

The letter reproduced in the box to the right is
from the Mayor and a Councilman of Decatur. It
tells what they think of Parking Meters after giving
them a trial.
They say: “We feel that if any effort were made
to remove meters at this time, it would be over-
whelmingly defeated."
CITY OF DECATUR
S. L. Hardwick, Mayor
C; A. Nichols, City Secretary
DECATUR, TEXAS
June 5, 1953
Junior Chamber of Commerce
Bowie, Texas
Gentlemen:
Replying to your inquiry with reference to our experience with parking meters in the City of Decatur beg
to advise that we installed approximately 160 parking meters in October of 1949 without any outlay of funds
whatsoever from the City. Since that time revenue from the meters have paid out the cost in full plus an
equal amount paid into the coffers of the city and greater benefits still have been derived from the systema-
tic parking and control of traffic in the city. As .you know our square is very small and prior to the installa-
tion'of the meters the square was congested at practically all times during business hours and no parking
was available for trade at the various establishments around the square. Since our installation of meters
this condition has been largely corrected and now par king area for. trading is ^available at all times.
We are more than pleased with the results of the meter installation in Decatur and feel that if any effort
were made to remove meters at this time it would be o verwhelmingly defeated. Since payment in full has been
made through revenue derived from the meters the fun ds now coming in from this source carry a very large
portion of our costs of street maintenance.
If we can furnish you with any information in the matter that will be of benefit to your organization wc
will be haRpy to have you contact us.
y-e
Very truly yours,
S. L. Hardwick, Mayor
31 City of Decatur
