Auto Club in Favor Of
Parallel : With Curb
Parking Of Motors

The Omaha Automobile club, &C
cording to an announcement made
by Secretary S. E. Smyth, favors
parallel-with-curb parking of auto
mobiles, as provided for in the pro-
posed new traffic ordinance.
There is one point which the club
would like to see changed in the re-
districted district, and that is to al
low diagonal parking of cars at both
curbs, for any length of time, on
Douglas street, from Fourteenth to
Twentieth streets. Douglas is wide
street with no car line, and will &C
commodate many automobiles" said
Mr. Smyth.
THE Automobile club would like
to have The Bee support this con-
tention of double parking on Doug
las street. It is a reasonable re-
quest. Motorists should be given
parking space on streets where the
width, with absence of car lines,
precludes traffic congestion" he
