Progress in Two

has been prepared by a committee
headed by DR.. John G.. Merriam. presi-
dent of the Carnegie Institution of

fifth annual conference of American
States at Santiago, Chile, in 1923, au-
thoriZing the union to cooperate in

publics the progress made in such re-
search each year.

LACKS POLICE AID.
Can't Enforce Rules Without Con-
troll, Eldridge Tells Capper.

ReasoD why he should have con-
troll over policemen assigned TO traffic
enforcement were cited by Director
Eldridge in a letter he wrote yes
terday to Senator Capper, chairman
of the Senate District committee
The Senator had transmitted 10 Mr..
Eldridge a complaint from a business
concern regarding the difficulty Of
delivering merchandise because of
the parking problem.
Mr. Eldridge told Senator Capper
that If the one-hour parking limit
at the curb were enforced there
would be room for vehicles to stop
in making deliveries. His letter indi-
Gated he did not believe the police
were as active as they might be in
enforcing the overtime parking rule.
II have no authority over the po-
lice" wrote Mr.. Eldridge, land many
of my requests to enforce regula
tons, including the parking regula
been ignored"
The Police Department recently as
signed 10 men to downtown parking
enforcement. but withdrew them
after a short time, Mr.. Eldridge con-
tinued, with the result that the one
hour limit is being violated.
"If the superintendent of police
would assign to the Traffic Bureau
10 or IL young, vigorous officers who
are not acquainted in the business
district with the business men and
clerks I fell certain that we could en-
force this regulation, thereby per-
hitting merchants who have goods
to deliver to find places at the curb
to park their cars" Mr.. Eldridge said.
Commissioner Frederick A. F'enning
was closeted with Mr.. Eldridge for
several minutes this morning, but
neither revealed the subject under dis
cussion. The Commissioner declined
to comment on the traffic director g
letter to Senator Capper.
Maj. Hesse announced, however,
that he would continue to advocate
reasonable enforcement" of the regu-
lations promulgated by the traffic di-
rector. He explained that he needed
the cooperation of the public just as
much as he does that of the traffic
director.
Publication of his letter to Senator
Capper was "regrettable," Mr.. Ed
ridge said, but it has not served to
change his opinion as to the lack of
cooperation from the Police Depart
ment. He said he had no complaint
with the police administration.

as result of this parking? What In
convenience has the public suffered
from the parking of machines between
. and AM? What inconvenience or
delay has been suffered by the Fire
Department?
The Senator also requested informa-
ton as to any special reasons that
may exist for the proposed regulation.
He asked Commissioner Fenning II
any thought had been given to the
fact that before very long the days
will be getting longer and that the
sun will be up by o'clock in the
morning and that some people Will
desire and be required to use the
streets even before o'clock.
The reply of Commissioner Fenning
read, in part. az follows:
There Is no separate record of
accidents or collisions which can be
regarded as the direct result of all
night parking. The inconvenience
suffered by the public with respect
to all-night parking, as / am advised
by persons who have approached me
on the subject, Is that traffic is re-
tarded that persons are unable to
drive up IN front of their own resi-
dences. that all-niSht parkers starting
their cars in the early hours of the
morning cause annoyance to persons
in front of whose houses they are
parked and there is distinct element
of danger by virtue of the obstruc-
ton of view caused by all-night
parking.
Il am advised that there is no
separate record kept on file of the in
convenience suffered by the Fire De.
partment by reason Of allnieht
parking.
1T may well be that the best way
to eliminate all-night parking is not
to place a prohibition on parking be-
tween the hours of and I'm. 1t Is
possible that the prohibition should
apply to other hours or should apply
to a certain number of hours. say four
hours between l and I'm. This fea
ture is now under consideration by
the director of traffic and the corpora
ton counsel.
You ask that | give YOU any spe-
cial reasons indicating the desira bill
ity for no parking between the hours
of and am. when as stated in
your letter, general traffic is usually
very light. I think this question is
answered in the Immediately preced-
ing paragraph.
Concluding your letter you ask as
to what special benefits will accrue
other than to the garage people. 1t
is my thought that regulation as pro
posed will be in the interest of the
National Capital, the streets will be
safer for other automobiles and for
pedestrians and for the Fire Depart
ment. There will be an appreciate
effect in law enforcement. and 1t will
he possible for the Street Cleaning
Department TO adequately perform It's
important function in the early morn
ing hours.
May add that the proposed regu-
latiOn is still under conSiderat ton,
that 1 hope to have an early confer
ence with the director of traffic and
the corporation counsel. and that If
a regulation Is proposed II will re-
ceive the most careful consideration
of the Commissioners"

Senator King of Utah explained to
the committee today that he had not
formed any definite conclusion on the
suggestion he has made regarding an
income tax law for the District of
Columbia.
He said he was still of an open mind
and was looking into the question only
oecanse many persons had spoken to
him about it. He said he had been ad.
vised that wealthy people could escape
payment of taxes in other States by
maintaining nominal residence in
Washington and living here a few
weeks in Winter.
Senator Mckinley commended that if
a person followed that practice he
would be required to pay taxes under
the personal intangible tax law here
Senator King said he understood the
intangible tax did not work very we'll
Senator Jones Of Washington observed
that it probably worked as well here
as anywhere. The discussion was
ended with the understanding that
Senator King would submit his bill to
the committee later for consideration.
