by Commissioner Frederick A

Traffic Director M. 0. Eldridgt

Many Complaints
Commissioners fleming said to-
day that he had received numerous
complaints from residents Of vi
entities where all-night parkers
abound and the situation had been
called to his attention by visitors
from out of town.
Suggestions have been made that
a time-limit be placed on parking
throughout the District between
the hours OF ] a. m. and 5 a. m.
a regulation which is in force in
several other large cities.
According to the transportation
survey made by Mcclellan and

Commissioner Fenning said that
the work of the Police and Fire
departments would be greatly
lessened by such regulation. Fie
said that highwaymen and burglars
often park automobiles around the
corners from the scenes of their
activities to assure quick got

that this evil could be reInedied.
Firemen Hampered
The maneuvers of firemen with
their apparatus is often hampered
by string OF all-night parkers

a burning building, the Commits
sioner said. He told Of a fire in
Mt. Pleasant when it was necessary
for the fremen to push automobiles
out Of the way before efforts could
be made to put out the blaze.
Opinions from the public are de-

Fenning and Director Eldridge.

Out of Work, She Says
When questioned as to her rea-
son for taking articles that totaled
almost $50 in value, she said she
had been unemployed and was a
lover of the beautiful things that
adorn women of wealth, so she
could not resist the temptation.
Asked whether she wanted to
say anything else in Vindication
of, her act, she replied: you x
up something nice to tell the pub
lie if you must write about il. I
did not take the things because /
was poor, but because / couldn't

According tn Mrs. Hubbs the
woman was addressing remarks to
her in the store while she was en-
gagged in the theft. Mrs. Koontz

STATE POLICE KEPT
 BUSY TAGGING CARS

Several hundred cars were tagged by a state policeman Monday during the first day of the campaign under taken by the state police department to clear onneetieut highways of automo- piles with defective equipment. All the officers on duty were supplied with tags and whenever they came across machines which appeared to have bad brakes. illegal or poorly adjusted lights. or any parts weak or defective, they took the car number and left a tag on the steering wheel.
 These tags. which are to serve as warnings, mean that the owner must at once have the defective part noted on the tag repaired. When that has been done statement to that effect must be sworn te before a notary pub lie and the notary's certificate with the tag sent to the state police headquar- ters. The owner of any car found in operation on the highways after it has been tagged and hefere such tag and certificate has been returned IS sub jeet to arrest.
 Parked cars or vehicles in operation are subject to inspection by state po- lice officers, and it is expected that the campaign will continue throughout the rest of the summer.
