The deaf observer would have said, probably, that Anaheim's business men had run amuck, and had become members of the Bolsheviks, or some other order for the furtherance of crime. And the occasion was this: Anaheim's new parking ordinance which prohibits cars from parking more than two hours at a time on Los Angeles and Center-sts between Clementine and Philadelphia, and Chartres and Chessnutts. The plea to the judge was invariably the same: "I forgot about that new ordinance." They were assessed a nominal fine of one dollar, and went their ways apparently well pleased. The number tagged yesterday for this offense amounted to about 20. The ordinance was sponsored by the businessmen, and some of them expressed gratification at the way in which the local police officers are enforcing it.
