metal. Many “tokens” from coin
machines, some fitting the quarter
and dime compartments, went into
his collection box.
And back in the squad room the
cops were kidding the reporters who
were covering the “moron” cases.
They—“more in earnest than in jest”
—blamed the scribes for the heavy
accumulation of phoney coins. The
collector settled the matter and
ended the badinage when, in answer
to a reporter (always ahead of the
gendarmes, this lad) he stated that
the same percentage obtains in all
police station public phones. Lest
our city fathers be alarmed that us
taxpayers may stand the gaff, be it
known that the telephone company
(for once) stands the loss. It owns
the booths and so “takes the chances.”

members of the Kansas City real
estate board.
Frank E. August, former member
of Oklahoma City University faculty
and now head of the Kansas City
University sociology department, re­
ported results of his survey here of
the meter operation to the real estate
board, according to The Associated
Press.
“The device is so well adapted to
Oklahoma City conditions, my con­
clusions read like a loaded report,”
August said. His findings were based
on a survey made while employed by
Magee.
“The actual number of cars using
metered spaces was greater than in
non-metered areas,” August reported
to the board. “The average parking
time in metered zones is forty-one
minutes.
TALLAHASSEE — Comptroller
J. M. Lee said approximately 114

under the disputed Florida law per­
mitting such devices.
