D. c. POLICE.
POWERS
CLEARED
Corporation Counsel Stephens
Tells Oyster, However, He :
Can Have Court Test.

It is an unreasonable exercise of
the police power vested in the Dis
trict Commissioners to prohibit the
parking of automobiles in front Of
ones dwelling during the night
when such is not prohibited under
the same circumstances throughs
out the day. "a
Such is the opinion on all night
parking submitted to Commits
sioner James F. Oyster today by
Frank II. Stephens, District Cor7
poration Counsel. The opinion
was prepared by Ringgold HART
Assistant Corporation Counsel.
May Draft Regulation.
However, the corporation coun.
sells office informs the Commits
sioners that If it desired a regula5,
ton prohibiting all-night parking
will be drawn so as to give the
Commissioners an opportunity to
test their power in this regard I'M
the courts.
The opinion states that under
present regulations police have the
the streets as storehouse for
t1SH NCAkCICt CA(CPe1ItA
parking. This opinion is aimed
especially at those persons WnJ
have broken down automobiles and
keep them on streets for many
days without moving them.
It is also stated that the police
have power to arrest persons whose
parked automobiles interfere with
the work Of the Street Cleaning De.
partment or in any way obstruct
the street.
Points in the Opinion.
The opinion says in part:
1.-THE courts hold it an unreasonr
able exercise of the police power
vested in the commissioners to pro-
hfbit parking of automobiles in
front of ones dwelling during the
night when such is not prohibited
under the same circumstances
throughout the day.
cit is my opinion that the courts
have properly so decided"
The opinion says If the commits
sioners feel otherwise than the opin4
ion states an attempt will be made
to draw some regulation for sub
mission to the courts under a
proper case"
It is also stated that there seems
to be no need at this time for d
to prohibit all night
parking.
