(Ord. 415 § 13, 1966)
The city traffic engineer shall cause parking meters to be installed

the parking space adjacent thereto is or is not legally in use.
Each parking meter shall be set to display, after the operational
procedure has been completed, a sign or signal indicating legal parkings
for that period of time conforming to the limit of parking time as
indicated on the meter. Each parking meter shall indicate the limit
of parking time in the parking space adjacent to the parking meter,
and shall continue to operate from the time of the completion of the
operational procedure until the expiration of the time fixed as the
parking limit or a said meter shall also be so arranged that upon
the expiration of said legal parking time it will indicate by a mechanical
operation and by proper signal that the lawful parking period has
expired.

with the instructions posted on the face of the parking meter.
(Ord. 415 § 13.3, 1966)
The parking meter fees for the parking meter zones herein established

of the city council.

to operate the meter to show legal parking.
(Ord. 415 § 13.5, 1966)
No person shall follow the operational procedure or any part
of the operational procedure for the purpose of increasing or extending
the parking time of any vehicle beyond the legal parking time which

parking meter is placed.
(Ord. 415 § 13.6, 1966)
No person shall deposit or cause to be deposited in any parking

parking meter standard.
(Ord. 415 § 13.9, 1966)
The parking or standing of any motor vehicle in a parking space,
at which space the parking meter displays the sign or signal indicating
illegal parking, shall constitute a prima facie presumption that the
vehicle has been parked or allowed to stand in such space for a period
longer than permitted by this title.
(Ord. 415 § 13.10, 1966)
All moneys collected from parking meters in this city shall
