PARKING NUISANCE
ON TULSA STREETS
Traffic Officer Makes Some
Timely Suggestions
to Autoists.
LAWS OUT OF DATE
Need New Set of Rules; Con.
geStion at Present
Is Serious.
(By JIM PILKINGTON) }


The parking nuisance as 1t exists
along Main and other streets served
by the car line has become so acute
that some people would have 1t elm
mated entirely. However there are
just as many who believe that the
great mass of new cars jammed in
along the busy streets Is an adver-
tising asset and are prepared to op-
pose any drastic regulations affecting
IL.
Policemen having to deal with traf-
fic and who would ask for progressive
ordinances governing the same are
handicapped by this diversity of
opinion, as the city's governing body
would quite naturally reject their
suggestions unless the same was
backed by some sort OF concerted ac-
tiCn on the part of the citizens. With
no potent organization of auto owners
10 assist. II is hard to convince the
lawmakers just what is needed; and
so we go drifting along with q set of
laws that were made when the town
was In It's infancy, and which are
wholly inadequate for the present
day needs.
An Antique Law.
The ancient parking law that re-
CURES the vehicles to stand against
the curb and eight feet apart is an ex-
ample or what we must be guided
by. This was fairly sensible law In
the days when automobiles were a
curiosity. but 1t is so ridiculously out
OF date now that no effort is made
TO enforce 1t. Aside from this there
Is no law regulating the angle at
which vehicles may park. and the
privilege Is so badly abused that the

speeding on the crossings to mini
mum, as the difficulty of emerging
from one zone and entering the con-
fines OF another nj a high rate of
speed would soor asort itself "Slash-
ing by In double rows would be
eliminated under this system. as each
car would have to follow the pre-
ceding one.
Pedestrians with baby carriages or
otherwise hand dcapT ed would be alb
solutcly secure while in the middle OF
the street. and would only have to
watch for themselves at tho narrow
space adjacent 20 the curb where the
vehicles would be required to travel.
This would also keep the entrance to
the big buildings. which are mostly
on the corners, oren. and IL would
provide that theaters and other pub
lie places could keep their entrances
clear of traffic by placing signs. To
that effect
Withal it is doubtful II the city
will ever be rid of the traffic evils
until the auto owners have banded
themselves together in vigorous
organization capable OF demanding
and urging the proper assistance.
No One Responsible.
Under the present haphazard sys-

fic and no one to take the responsi-
bility as a whole. With a model set
of traffic laws the police department
could delegate man to enforce and
be responsible for the enforc emont Of
the same. With three or four assist
ants he could within n month reduce
wrecks and kindred losses to a mini
mum. Under ideal conditions, work
ing in harmony with vigorous auto
association. n policeman would feel II
as much his duty 10 clear the out
lying districts of glass patches as he
would to arrest a downtown specder
There has not been a single law
passed since the jitneys came into
prominence regulating the traffic end
of their business. and their stations
as they are marked off are not pro-
vided for by law. and the whole thing
IS slip-shod. badly regulated and out
of date.

In the offices and many OF the profess
slonals on the floor bought heavily In
~credulous confidence. The result was a
brisk upacard movement. which had ali
the carmarks OF a well conceived and
premedltated drive against the grea,
short interest which was known to exist.
The upward movement carried SteeI
common to a gain Of 2k points on the
day. Gains OF 2 points or more were
frequent In other Industrial shares. New
York Air Brake gained 10 points. The
Linseed shares. Influenced by d~isappolnt.
ment over the quarterly statement OF
earnings and over dividend action, were
the only conspicuous stocks which failed
to respond.
The rebound failed to influence rail.

ception. these shares were sluggish and
inactive. II was obvious that whatever
speculative interest had been inspired
In them by the constantly recurring
statements OF record earnings had been
chilled by the movement for Government
