eighth street from Dumbarton avenue
to street for norJhbound traffic.
One change was urged on account
of q recent decision of Police Court
Judge McMahon. This would require
vehicles arriving at any boulevard
intersection to come to a complete
stop before crossing or entering.
Judge Mcmahon held in his decision
that the present regulations on this
subject was inadequate because it
did not provide for vehicle intend
ing to make a turn from an inter
secting street into a boulevard high
way.
Another new provision inserted at
the request of the Fire Department
would prohibit parking in any road
or alley where the vehicles reduced
the free roadway to IL feet or less.
The streets on which it is proposed
to lift the rush hour parking re
striction follow: F street, from Sixth
to Fifteenth streets; F street. from
Eighteenth to Nineteenth streets: g
street, from Ninth to Fifteenth
streets. except on the north side OF
the Albee Building, where parking is
forbidden at any time; G street, from
Sixth to Seventh streets; street,
street, from Seventeenth to Nine
teenth streets; II street, from Fourth
to Thirteenth streets; H street, from
Thirteenth to Fourteenth streets; II
street, from Fourteenth street to
Madison place; II street, from Jack
son place to Eighteenth street; i
street, from Massachusetts avenue to
Fourteenth street: l street. from Four
teenth to Sixteenth streets.

to F street; Tenth from + street to
Rhode Island avenue (parallel parking
on west side south of h street; no
parking on east side at any time be-
tween r street and New York avenue)
Fifteenth street from Pennsylvania
avenue to G street; Fifteenth from
New York avenue to / street; Seven
teenth street from New York avenue

to Nineteenth; G street from seven
teenth to Nineteenth; H street from
Jackson place to Eighteenth street
Eighteenth street from PennsyiVania
avenue to F street; Seventeenth
Cx-Ixy
K street; New York avenue from sew
enteenth to Eighteenth street.
Parking on the east side of Twenty
seventh street between P and Q would
be prohibited at any time. Nhlle
parking has been prohibited there for
some time, it never has been covered
by regulation.
A report submitted to the Commits
sioners by Maj. Hesse and Mr..
Eldridge pointed out that twenty
seventh street between and -
streets is extremely narrow and, due
to the fact that it is the first through
street west of Twenty-second street,
it carries a considerable volume OF
traffic and 1t is dangerous to permit
parking on both sides. These OFF,
GERS said that many accidents have
occurred at that point, including one
fatality.
Among other amendments suggested
was one to lift the lefthand turn re-
striction at Seventeenth street and
New York avenue during the non
rush hours. Lefthand turns would
not be permitted between 8 and 9:15
a. m. and 4 and 6 pm. Buses operat-
ing over this route, however, Will be
exempt.
Several changes in the general neigh
borhood of Park road and Mount Pleas
ant street were recommended. BY
those changes Park road would be
retained as a one-way street from
Fourteenth to Eighteenth, but all the
one-way provisions on Seventeenth
street. Mount Pleasant street and New
ton street west Of Seventeenth street
would be eliminated. Traffic on these
streets, according to the traffic direc-
tor. is a strictly neighborhood propo-
sition and through traffic seldom uses
| them. The present provisions, &C.
cording to Mr.. Eldridge, work q hard.
ship on property owners in that sec
tion and can be eliminated without
any detriment to the general traffic
situation.
The Commissioners announced that
| they would give further consideration
| to the Joint recommendations and
| make a decision the latter part Of the
week.
