Rudolph Jose Advocates Plan
TO Solve p. Q. Parking
Problems

Characterizing the washington
parking problem as the most seri-
Gus phase Of the traffic situation
yet to be solved, Rudolph Jose. pres,
ident Of the Washington Automobile
Trade Association, today advocated
the construction Of huge storage
buildings, either underground or
above the surface, to relieve congeg-
ton in downtown streets.
He bitterly opposed the sugges-
tion that downtown parks, such as
Franklin Square, be destroyed and
!. the areas converted into parking

tanned for q moment" he declared.
. Parks are q vital necessity in any
city and especially in the National
Capital, the beauty OF which must
not be marred. Even were this
plan adopted It would be merely q
temporary expedient and would not
mean d solution OF the problem.
With these beautiful parks wiped
out, we should soon find ourselves
Ia the same predicament we now
lace"
The storage garage plan has al
ready been put in operation In Ger.
tain parts of the country and u
proving successful. Mr.. Jose said.
The underground parking plan, he
said, is not new to washington, but
now looms as one OF the most
feasible plans for meeting the park.
ing problem.
/ II can't see any reason why
underground garages should not be
possible in Washington" Mr.. Jose
said. 'Such garages could be con-
structed under existing parks IN
the. downtown section without dis
turbing the foundations OF buildings
or underground pipes. sewers OF
'"If natural conditions permitted,
these garages could be carried two
or three stories below ground CIV
ing ample parking space for thou
sands OF cars.
''The underground parking sys-
tenn would in no way mar the
beauty OF the city. The only open
ing would be a ramp leading from
the street down into the garage and
that could be effectually concealed.
Safety Assured.
'"The underground garage would
provide safe shelter, in which space
would be rented by the hour. the
day, or even by the year. Cars
would be protected from rain, sun
and from freezing. They would
be safe from theft or molestation.
They would not be covered with
dust when the owners came to drive
them home after a day downtown"
The underground storage plan,
he said, would do away with the
objection which might be raised to
storage garages above ground be-
cause Of their unsightly character.
The underground garages would
be heated from nearby buildings,
he explained. A moderate charge
could be made for parking. He
felt that q majority Of motorists
would be willing to pay such a
charge for the privilege Of leaving
their automobiles in safety at a con-
venient point.
The garages could be constructed
