BUSINESS TRAFFIC SURVEY MADE

A second traffic survey, conducted Saturday, May 25 as against the previous 
Saturday, May 18, showed only 399 cars parked in the business district of 
Payette, as against 451 the week before.  A drop of 52 cars.  It might be 
interesting to report that Saturday, May 18, was the biggest day in dollar 
volume reported in many months, according to a chamber of commerce report. 

Last Saturday showed 36 cars double parked on 8th street at 8:45 as against the 
39 the previous Saturday at the same hour.

While 399 parked cars were in the business district; 32 bore Oregon licenses, 
while 42 Oregon tags were counted the previous week.  Washington county had 
eight cars clocked this time, but only 4 last week.

Out of state cars numbered 8 this time, while last week 9 were counted.

Deducting Payette and Washington counties, there were 10 parked cars, as 
against 17 on the first count of other Idaho counties, such as Gem, Adams and 
Canyon.

Last week there were 72 autos, or 18 per cent of the total cars parked, from 
outside of Payette county, while this week showed 14 per cent or 57.

Another striking feature, as brought out last week, was the parking of all out 
of state cars on the East and South side of the streets.  Eighty per cent of 
the Oregon cars were also parked on the same side of the street.  This would 
possibly indicate that most of them entered the city from the East.
