Signs indicating one-way streets and no parking areas have been made and will be put in place early tomorrow morning. It is expected that the new regulation will aid traffic as well as the merchants on the boulevard. The most drastic change being that of forbidding parking on west or store side of the boulevard between the Ashworth and Casino. From now on people riding through will be able to see the stores and business men having hotels on the boulevard will be able to take care of their patrons at the front door rather than having them go way down on a side street and walk to the lobby, sometimes a quarter of a mile. Persons desiring to do business, such as going to the post office or to purchase small articles taking but a minute or two, will be able to do it. D street and F street will be open to east bound traffic only while C street will be used for west bound traffic turning in from the boulevard.
