New Method Called Better.

IN their recent conference with Mai
I1ilman, the superintendent of police
said, the new regulation was an i'm
pavement over the old method of per-
nT5tting cars to stop in front Of es-
tsHnsacting business 1t was also
p93nted out that the recent fire on New
York avenue retarded the progress of
the fire department by reason of sew
cGAf machines being parked at the curb
oa the arrival Of the apparatus. Many
OF the merchants are in favor Of the
oM regulation permitting a half hour
stop, which, ii is claimed, would stop
the abuse of those having offices in
that vicinity parking their cars from
nsorning until evening at the curb line
and leave ample room for the cars be-
longing to patrons Of the various es-
t2blishments. At the present time
machines are parked on either side of
TIE street car tracks on New York
axfnue. and similar to THAT now in
vogue on Pennsylvanii avenue be-
tween 9th and 18th streets northwest.
The new regulation. which includes
several streets in addition to New York
aEsuUe. is as follows:
:Section a.. Article XII. Between
t;te hours of o'clock am. and 6
O'Clock pm, on the secular days Of
the week, no vehicle shall stand In a
position parallel TO and near the curb
OF any Of the streets on which center
parking spaces have been established
by the Commissioners of the District
OF Columbia except for the purpose of
letting off or taking on passengers, and
in the case of commercial vehicles as
defined sin the preceding section. ex-
cspt during the time' that they are
actually loading or unloading; and no
vehicle shall stop at right angles to
tsEe curb on amy of the following
named streets:
