PARKING BAN IS
PROTESTEDBY
CITIZENS
>Thirteenth Street Residents
Ask Same Privilege Granted
Sixteenth Street

Aroused at the Unreasonable"
traffic regulation which restricts
parking on botn sides of Thirteenth
street, between Iowa circle and
Florida avenue northwest, sixty
three residents OF the street, includ-
ing prominent physicians, lawyers,
and business men, today sent a. let
ter Of protest to NJ. o. Eldridge,
director Of traffic.
The list of signators is headed ky
W. d. Dixon, 1915 Thirteenth street
northwest.
Sixteenth Street Cited.
The protestants declared the anti
parking regulation for Thirteenth
street is unfortunate and unfair
They point out that Sixteenth street,
said to be the heaviest Travelled
street in the city, permits parking
on one side of the street. But resi-
dents OF Thirteenth street, on which
friffic is not nearly as congesred,
are compelled TO suffer great incon-
venience.
The protest. in rart, reads:
I'VE, the undersigned. desire to
bring to your attention the unfor-
tunate situation created by the new
I1dIIlc OTQer eliminating parking Ou
both sides Of Thirteenth street be-
tween Iowa Circle and Florida ave-
nue. northwest during the hours be-
tween and 9:15 a. am. and and
8 p. m.
1--WE recognize the fairness of
restricting parking during rush
hours on certain business streets,
but to prohibit the residents OF
Thirteenth street from parking in
front OF or near their homes is un-
fair and unreasonable. Doctors,
business men and residents, whose
office hours or dinner hours fall
within the restricted periods are
greatly incopveflienced.
Same Privilege Asked.
Sixteenth street, said to be the
most congested during rush hours
south of New York, allows parking
on one side Of the street. AS Thir
teenth street is not as congested
and does not include a bus line
we feel justified IN earnestly peti
tioning your honorable body identi
cal privileges accorded residents OF
Sixteenth street, to wit:
Parking to 9:15 a. m. on easI
side"
Parking to 8 p. m. on west
side.

tinue her profession as a nurse.
She asks that Sherman be enjoine1

ICE CREAM SALE
BY POUND IS
URGED
Weights and Measures Farley
Here to Discuss Plan
Of Retailers

The sale Of ice cream by the
pound, rather than by the quart,
will be one of the principal quas-
tions to be discussed at the eight
eenth annual conference on
weights and measures meeting at
the Bureau of Standards, attended
by officials from all States.
According to George x. Burgess,
director OF the bureau. in his adj
dress Of welcome to the delegates,
State and city officials throughout
the country have received COM
plants from retailers that they are
unable to properly check out this
commodity by the present method
employed in purchase and sales by
liquid measure.
They. are desirous. he said, that
some method be devised that will
enable them to deal in the sale of
ice cream on a sounder basis. This
is not due. Mr.. Burgess stated. to
the fact that it Is suspected that
short measure is being delivered
by the wholesaler, but to the fact
that whenever it is repacked it
shrinks in volume.
All Sides To Be Heard.
The various viewpoints of inter-
ested parties will be heard. Joseph
G. Rogers, secretary, department OF
weights and measures for the State
of New Jersey, will give the view
point Of the official, while F. v.
Hovey, president, and Fred Ras-
mussen, executive secretary of the
National Association of Ice Cream
Manufacturers. will give the or'int
ions of that organization. The view
point of the retailer will be pres
ented by e. A. G. 1ntemann, of the
New Jersey Retail Ice Cream and
Candy Manufacturers Association.
Coordination of programs of the
national and State conferences on
weights and measures will also come
up for discussion. The standardiZa-
ton Of the price and size of bread
will also be considered at this
meeting.

Hammond and DelanO Out.
The fact that the President feels
himself limited by the three-yeaf
residence clause in the local statute
indicates he will appoint a Commits
sioner who is not member of the
local business community.
The suggestion, however, that
either John Hays Hammond or
Frederic A. Delano be appointed
has been discarded because both
have voting residences in other
cities.
There is no indication today as
to what names are being con-
sicered seriously by the President.

General George Barnett, former
commandant of the marine corps,

President, that the administration
Of the local District government

He said the police administration
had been a disappointment to him,

and increased appropriation had
been given to the department by
Congress.

District and he believes a COM
