Parking Plan Agreed Upon: There's an Afterclap to Visit Made by Brush Makers to Mayor's Office.

The matter of parking in the vicinity of the plant of The Wooster Brush Co., sent a delegation of some 75 persons, principally brush company employees, to the mayor's office last night, and echoes of the meeting were still reverberating through the city today.

As mentioned in Tuesday's Record the parking problem there was taken before council, where Mayor Ebert suggested that he believed it could be solved if the committee would take it up with Police Chief Henry Leiner.

Yesterday afternoon owners of three cars which were parked near the company's plant were ordered to appear before Mayor Ebert. Before going to the mayor last evening, these persons obtained the services of Attorney Walter Mougey.

Mougey went with them and talked the matter over with the mayor and police chief in the chief's office. Meanwhile the remainder of the delegation waited in the mayor's office. Aplan of parking was tentatively agreed upon.

Mougey, at the request of the mayor, announced this plan to the waiting delegation, and the mayor later entered, into the general conversation regarding it. It was proposed that cars be parked on the west side of Buckeye Street as far south as the intersection of Buckeye and Madison Avenue, and on the west side of Madison Avenue from that point south.

After the matter had been agreed upon, Howard Zook, a member of the brush company delegation declared he wanted to file charges against Chief Leiner, and the affirdavit was made out by Attorney Mougey and the complaint sworn to before the mayor. As matters stood today it is for hearing before the civil service commission. Messrs. Wiler, Snure and Young. Expressions were heard in downtown business circles today hoping that when the excitement of the incident dies down the charges may be withdrawn.

The complaint charged the chief with using improper language.

Chief Leiner, at his office today, denied that he had used any abusive "Every time a police officer, in trying to enforce the law happens to say 'damn' there's a big hullabaloo raised," the Chief commented.

The parking problem there has been a perplexing one. If both sides of the street are used for parking, the passageway between is not very wide. Certain residents there have objected to having cars parked in front of their homes day after day, six days a week, and eight or nine hours a day. Employees say there is not sufficient room on the company's ground to permit them to park and a solution that pleased all persons concerned has been looked for in vain.

Charges against the three car owners summoned to appear before the mayor last evening were dismissed in the spirit of the general agreement.
