PARKING SPACE
VALUATION IS
HIGH
Room for Auto Worth $780,
900, According to Fig
ures by EIdgridge

An automobile parked in the con-
gested area occupies 100000 worth
of space, it was ascertained by
Director of Traffic M. o. Eldridge
today.
Mr.. Eldridge arrived at his con.
clusion from the value placed on
the front footage of G street prop
erty. 1t was shown that this
footage was worth $S,4OO and that
an automobile occupying IL feet
used a certain amount Of valued
space.
If this money was invested, the
director stated, it's earning capacity
would run to $50 a day or about
SO an hour for parked automobiles.
With space at a premium in
the down town sections, an appeal
is made to the business man who
remains in his office all day to
park his machine outside the con-
gested area and walk to work
Thus the space which he might
occupy could be used by transient
parkers and shoppers.
Many office workers have been
man to move their machines every
hour, the director said, and tech
nically kept within the law where
they were obviously using the con-
gested area for all-day parking.
1t would do the average office
worker good if he parked his
machine a ten or fifteen minute
walk away from his job, it was
limited.
Complaints are being received
daily at the office of the traffic
director from storekeepers and mer-
chants that their customers often
are forced to encircle a block sew
eraI times before parking space can
he found.
Stricter regulations and severer
penalties will follow if the parking
privileges are abused, the director
said, pointing to the raise in fines
in traffic court for parking viola
tors from 81 to So as the first step
in curbing laW-breakerS.

CITY NEEDS
CITED To
LORD
D. c. Officials Making Fight
to Get All of $40. 600, 900
Now in Estimates

Brigadier General H. Nj. Lord,
director of the budget, today
opened the hearing on the District
of Columbia estimates for the fis-
cal year 1927, with the District
Commissioners and other officials
appearing before him.
The District representatives are
planning hard fight to hold the
estimates as near to their original
total of approximately $4,000, 900
as they can. They have prepared
an effective presentation for the
hearing, which will continue for
the next four days, beginning at
8 o'clock and closing at 1 o'clock.
Conference With Others
Other interests which are asking
for larger budget for Washing
ing Association and the Citizens
Advisory Council, viii not be given
a formal hearing by General Lord.
but will be heard in conference
within the next few days.
General Lord today said he was
entirely willing to hear what these
nonofffcial interests have to say
regarding the requirements Of the
District. but that he would not en-
courage the practice of having such
groups appear before him to any
large extent.
He said he depended on District
officials to make complete and
authentic statement of their case.
Colonel John w. Oehlmann,
building inspector, and Melvin E.
Hazen, District surveyor, were
among the officials who accom-
panied the Commissioners to the
Budget Bureau today.
Sewers Head Items
The chief subject to be taken up
with General Lord is the develop
ment of the local sewer system.
It is not expected, however, that
the Budget Bureau will be able to
complete it's own survey of this
local project until the hearings
have been completed.
A definite answer by GeneraI
Lord to the Commissioners re-
quest for. increased estimates for
the sewers is not expected before
that time.

"sHIRT TAIL CHARLIE"

We note from our own news
columns that "Shirt Tail
Charlie" a Seminole Indian,
died at Fort Lauderdale, Fla,
from a broken heart, due to
tribal sentence many years ago,
one thing being a denial of the
right to marry.
It's a sad sort of tale these
news writers weave around
"Shirt Tail Charlie" who is
represented as having shot deer,
panthers and other wild ami
mails in the Everglades with his
truSty bow and arrow.
We don't just gather whether
the tribal sentence compelled
Charlie to go without a tail to
his shirt, but we suspect that
he seldom had a shirt to wear
and that about the only thing
he ever shot was his stomach
full of cheap, bad liquor.
But let's shed tears over poor old

% Defendants Face Judge
Riggs in Montgomery
County Court

Only three of the twenty-five
prominent Washington and Mary
land men and women who ap-
peared before Judge Samuel Riggs
in the Rockville, Md, police
court today in the Montgomery
county Fictitious tag war" felt
the strong arm of the Maryland
law in the form of fines and as
sessed costs. Fourteen were found
not guilty and in the five remain
ing cases sentences were suspend
ed on payment of costs.
Variety of Complications
Every character of tag compiled
ton which might arise between
Maryland and the District was
brought to the attention Of Judge
Riggs in the more than a score of
cases, and his decision left no room
for doubt of future trouble among
motorists.
Those fined $40 and costs were:
Sylvan Oppenheirner, proprietor Of
Washington store; Miss H. s. Zell,
of Chevy Chase, and w. B. Sumner,
of Bethesda.
In fourteen other cases the de-
PENDANTS promptly exhibited Mary
land operators permits and con-
WINGED Judge Riggs they had not
even technically violated the law.
a number of them were automobile
statesmen or employees of the Po-
tomac Electric Power Company,
who were using their firms cars.
In two cases, members Of the Chevy
Chase Country Club showed that
they had homes in Washington and
only made intermittent visits to
the Maryland club.
Those found not guilty were:
George Hummer of Kensington;
John NJ. Saul, secretary Of the B.
F. Saul Company, of Washington; j.
C. Stewart, of the Justice Motor
Company, B. F. Vernon, OF Beth
esda; Robert l.. Lewis, of Kensing-
ton; George E. Altemus, Of Wash.

avenue; Wise Waters, Standard Oil
Company; H. Hubert Smith, Taylor
Motor Company; Manning Stead,
Chavy Chase Country Club: r. G.
Belt; G. H. Warrington, president OF
the Warrington Motor Company.
Judge Riggs continued his lenient
attitude in the five cases where he
assessed costs and suspended SEN
tence. He took into consideration
the fact there was no wilful viola
ton of the law and obtained a
promise that the offenders would
Immediately get registration cards
or tags as the occasion demanded.
Sentences Suspended
Those found guilty, on whom SEN
tence was suspended, follow: Erskine
r. Miller, Joseph T. Garrett, of
Chevy Chase; l.. r. Pennington; w.
E. Baker, and Charles NJ. Marsh.
Ten or twelve persons scheduled
to answer fictitious tag charges
failed to answer to their names
today and Sheriff Clay PIummer
promises Immediately to advise
them they had better make the
acquaintance Of Judge Samuel
Riggs.
Edwin c. Brandenburg, former
president of the Washington Board
of Trade, who was picked up in
the tag war but for whom no war
rant has been issued, wrote the
Judge a letter today explaining his
situation and Judge Riggs ruled
that he was entitled to the recipro.
city agreement. inasmuch as he al.
ways keeps his Washington home
open.
