FEES FOR PARKING
BRIGHT AMERICAN IDEA Oklahama City is the first city in tho United States to charge a fee for parking in the streets, and it has adopted a novel system for collecting tho fee. Meters are installed along the kerb, and upon parking tho motorist drops five cents (2jd) in the meter opposite his car. A clockwork mechanism raises a red indicator, which remains in position for tho allotted time. This time varies from 15 minutes in congested streets to an hour in others. Motor-cycle police patrol the streets and issue summonses to motorists who are parked without an indicator showing on tho appropriate meter.
