NEW PARKING OVERTIME NOTICES WILL BE MADE TO STICK INSIDE CAR WINDSHIELD
Washington, D.C. (JFK+50) On July 23, 1925, The Evening Star reports that "it will take a high wind in future to blow away the little cards policemen place in automobiles that are parked overtime."
It seems many district motorists have complained "that the cards blew away before they receive them."
Solution: police authorities have ordered new overtime notice cards made with a coating of mucilage* on the back so officers can place them on the inside of a car's windshield.
*mucilage is an adhesive solution, gum or glue.
JFK+50 NOTE
The fine for overtime parking in 2025 in Knoxville, TN is $25.00.
