Page 85: "In Kansas City, parking meters made their first appearance in June, 1936--more than five years ago." Page 83: "In Kansas City, Mo., there are 50,000 vehicles in the central business area from 9:00 A. M. to 5:00 P. M. on each business day. ..During peak shopping activity this number increases to 70,000 motor vehicles. The entire curb space within this area of concentrated business would accommodate 2,600 vehicles if every foot of space were used for parking. ..These needs reduce curb footage to space for 1,000 vehicles. We have 20 shoppers looking for each parking space!"
