PARKING OF MOTOR CARS.
Suggested That Some Public Space
Be Assigned for Purpose.

District Commissioner Macfarland is in
favor of the plan suggested by automo-
bile owners. who have Offices in the vi
cinity of 14th and G streets. Of setting
aside some public space as an automobile
stand for the private machines.
The formal request has not yet reached
the Commissioners. but 1t is expected to
be brought up at an early meeting OF
the Washington Automobile Club.
The automobile owners who have offices
in the large buildings In the vicinity Of
14th and G streets are in the habit OF
parking their machines along G and 14th
streets. They are often SO close together
that persons cannot pass between them
and storekeepers have complained to the
police that the machines are distractions
to persons who want to drive up in front
Of their places of business.
1t has been suggested that part Of the
large open space at 18th and II streets
and New York avenue be set aside for
the private motors. and, that telephone
booth be put in the center. 50 that the
owners of the machines could call Tor
them when ready to use them.
