Public told to build
sport facilities
City councilors yesterday called on the private sector to help
the city administration build sport facilities.
Soegijo, chairman of the Council's Commission E on social
welfare, said he was concerned over the scarcity of sport
facilities in the city which can be used by the public free of
charge and is open for all levels of society.
"Considering the financial constraints of the city
administration, the private sector is encouraged to take part in
building public sports facilities and training coaches as well as
in financing sports events," Soegijo was quoted by Antara as
saying.
Meanwhile another councilor from Commission E, Ronggo S.
Tahir, said, ideally, every district should have at least one
public sport facility.
"Not every district has one now," Ronggo stated. (11)

Parking fees
will increase
The municipal administration is considering increasing the
parking fees, an official said Tuesday.
Prawoto Sutrisno Danumihardjo, an assistant to the city's
secretary on economic and development, said the raise is expected
to increase the city's income, reduce the use of private vehicles
and make traffic more manageable.
He added that the plan will be supported by the provision of a
more appropriate mass transportation facilities.
Prawoto refused to reveal the new fees or when they will
become effective. He said that this was because the
administration is preoccupied with other, more important things
such as preparing for the competition to win the Adipura trophy,
the award for the most well-managed city.
He was quoted by Suara Karya daily as saying that the plan
would be brought to the city council for approval.
Councilor Helmy A.R. Syihab said that the council has not yet
received the proposal.
Parking fees currently at Rp 300 for cars and Rp 100 for
motorbikes.
According to Prawoto, the administration expected the
Municipal Parking Authority to collect Rp 14.6 billion (US$6.78)
in parking revenues during the 1994/1995 fiscal year, up from Rp
9.7 billion ($4.5 million) in the previous year. (03)
