OF Striking Director Myers Is
"Crcat proyoCation."
RESENTED SHORT AND UGLY"
Members of Ordinance Committee
and Police Chief Summoned to RE-
count Circumstances of Clash Be-
tween Men at Meeting.

Trial OF the case OF Harry T.. Sweet.
former officer OF the state Prohibition
Department, charged with striking Di-
rector OF Public Safety William NJ.
Myers, is expected 10 take place in
Police Court this morning. 1t was re-
ported yesterday that sweet intends to
claim a; the trial that prior to the
clash with Director Myers the latter
paid a visit to the Prohibition De-
partment and there used a short. ugly
word in connection with Sweets name.
1t is said that Sweet was not present
at the time, but that the remark was
repeated to him. II is further reported
that Sweet Will testify 1t was mainly
on account of this remark that he hit
Colonel Myers, and that the iatter's
remarks at the meeting OF the Ordi-
nance Committee was simply an addi-
tional provocation.
All the members OF the Ordinance
Committee have been summoned to tes-
tify as to the statements made by
Director Myers at the committee meet

WouldLin7H Time
for Parking Autos
Lieut.. San,uels Names Fif-
teen Minutes for Main
and Broad Streets.
BY LIEUTENANT SAsIUELS,
OF RiChuond 'FrHfIlC Department.,

Parking has become one of tho gpeat
Than ne ever before IS the "sque e; felt
in business hours along Broad and Main
Streets. Sometimes for blocks all the
autoisits find it necessary to leave their
cars ON side street and do their shop
ping afoot.
do not believe that cars on Broad
and Main Streets should be allowed to
park more than fifteen minutes at
time and should park parallel with
little crowding would he felt and tho
hog" who leaves his automobile
parked in choice place through his
business hours would be driven out
Park Parallel With Curb.
Parking Of automobiles should be
parallel with the curb on all business
streets in Richmond because. IL this is
not done. it would be almost limpossiblc
an instance, Grace and Franklin
streets are only ffty-one feet from
curb to curb. Autoists parking on both
sides Of the street. at an angle of forty
five degrees. as most OF them do. would
take up about twraiy-cigEt feet of the
roaaned Tor parking purposes. Few
feet of rad left for trafiic. Wills f the the
running. SPACE OF the average auto is
ei9nt fec.
Car" ccnnot pass one another in this
SnaC't " lac streets were for one way
traffic only the matter would have an
entirely different aspect and then the
parking of cars on an angle would
not only be preferable but would save
Il great deal of space.
Brond Street Gets Traffic.
On one-way streets about fifty cars
could be parked TO the block on the
angle plan. while only about twenty
five automobiles can now he parked
parallel to the curb, as in force now.
Motorists have their favorite streets
FRANKLIN and Grace Streets are favored
In the mornings and a large percentage
of the downtown traffic use these thor
ouEhfares before noon. But in the
afternoon Broad Street gets the most
traffic and only a small percentage of
motorists use Franklin and Grace
Streets.
In time it will be necessary to make
sixth. Seventh, Eighth and Ninth one
way streets south of Broad Street be-
cause of the volume of traffic which
now must be handled and which is in
creasing daily. "
Overuse of certain streets would be
remedied IL one-way streets were au-
thorized here. Many motorists favor A
smooth street and will go out of their
way 10 use one. which makes a con-
gested condition. Making such street
a one way thoroughfare would allay
this trouble because all traffic would
be moving in the same way
