In Kerbow Era, Parking Meters Were City's Best Revenue Source The Adair County News, May 25, 1949 Mayor J.R. Kerbow reported Tuesday that a check-up upon receipts of theparking meters made Friday, May 20, the first anniversary of theirinstallation, disclosed that the meters were the City of Columbia's bestsource of revenue. During the twelve months they have been in operation here $10,237.85 hasbeen paid by the motoring public for the privilege of parking inColumbia's business section. This amount far exceeds the amount receivedfrom taxes. (A note from your humble central Ohio bureau chief: after exhaustiveresearch, I have determined that the amount stated in the above articledidn't include the one dollar fines levied against -- and ponied up --by Mayor Kerbow and the Editor of the News in June, 1948, for theirflagrant forgetfulness in feeding the meters.)
