Longtime parking III a big oh
stacle in the way Of speedy and
safe movement Of traffic, parttcu,

ficer William d. Ballinger, who r.

This criticism is especially true
Of M street in Georgetown, Bal
linger pointed out. The thOroughfare
is narrow, and during the greater
part Of the day a long line of auto
mobiles extends along the curb On
either side Of the street. AS q re
suit. there is barely room left fol
traffic to move between the parked
cars and the street car line.
BalIinger believes that parking
time win have to be limited along
this street. as II is in the downtown
section The greater number Of the
parlEers, he said, are not persons
who have come to do business al
the M street stores, but are all-day
parkers.
The left.hand turn must go at all
busy Intersections during rush
hours, Ballinger declared. At his
own croner he keeps traffic moving
straight ahead when there is q
heavy flow, otherwise traffic would
be jammed for several blocks within
a few minutes
BalIinger has one Of the longest
terms of service on the traffic squad
and has watched traffic grow in
Washington during the twelve years
he has been assigned to traffic
duty. During the greater part of
that time he has been stationed at
his present post.
Traffic has shown it's greatest in.
crease in Washington during the
last few years, and In increasing
steadily, Ballinger pointed out, every
month bringing more autos on the
streets.
The bulk Of traffic coming across
the Key bridge passes the corner

is so narrow that the heavy flow OF

by General Gomez, to whom the

Gomez gave the message to the
