NEW PARKING RULE
FOR AUTOS IN VIEW
Traffic Director Considering
Proposal Submitted for
Morning Rush Hour.

A compromise plan under which
automobile parking would be pro-
hibited during the morning rush
hour only on certain busy streets IN
stead of in the entire congested section
is now being considered. Traffic Diree-
tor Eldridge said today.
The original suggestion OF the
traffic office was that in the new code
no. parking he allowed from to
$3.50 in the morning and one-hour
parking, as at present, for the re-
mainder of the day.
The Merchants and Manufac cturers'
Association objected to this proposal
and recommended that the one-hour
limit be retained from s am. to pm,
but strictly enforced
Mr. Eldredge said today he may
suggest as an alternative that the
no-parking ban in the morning rush
be applied only to certain streets.
The director said he also is con-
sidering allowing two-hour parking
and three-hour parking on certain
streets where there is. less conges-
tion.
The director and his assistants will
not reach a definite decision on the
parking question for several days. A
conference will be held tomorrow
night between Mr.. Eldredge and the
advisory committee on traffic. at
which parking and all of the other
important phases of the new code
will be gone over.
Following this conference. Mr.. FL
bridge expects to begin preparation
of his formal recommendations to the
Commissioners.
