AVAL WAAR VARRE PARKING METERS CAN BE BEATEN TORONTO (CP) -- Traffic engineer Robert Burton said Wednesday motorists have found a way of beating the parking meters on Spadina ave- nue in west-central Toronto. 7 He told the board of control that the timing device in the meter can be "paralyzed" by inserting a coin and turning the starting handle only part way. That leaves the gadget registering partly "violation" and partly a period of time. Mr. Burton said the practice costs the city $3,000 a meter a year and "it's getting worse all the time."
