said yesterday that he win ask the Corporation
Counsel in a few days what authority he Mr..
Herman. has TO regulate automobile traffic in Cen
tral Park. As he said few days ago. Mr.. Herr
man expects to ask the Legislature to repeal

has the authority to keep the heavier machines out
Il have no prejudice against automobiles Mr.
Herman said. "and know they have come TO stay.
But I also know that they are running the park
driveyays. \ park drive is good for six years for
horses and carriages. but the eIiudiu. Of two-ton
touring cars and the cutting of the wheel chains
into the surface make 1t necessary for us to re-
build practically every foot Of the roadway once in
eighteen months. 1t would cost many thousands
of dollars to convert the twenty miles Of dirt roads
in Central Park into asphalt macadam. The
only thing to be done. as l it, is to keep the
heavy automobiles and all with chains on their
