THREE PARKING
PLANS GIVEN

Three proposals for remedying
the parking situation on down
town" Thirteenth Street will be pre-
scented to the Commissioners by a
committee from the Merchants ami
Manufacturers Association, follow.
ing a spirited session with Traffic
Director w. I'll. Harland yesterday,
1t was announced today.
Director Harland flatly refused
to return from the present parallel
parking regulations to the angle
parking. which was formerly in use.
The three proposals. one of which
the Commissioners will be asked to
adopt in lieu of present regulations,
are:
a. Return to angle parking.
81 III Parallel parking on one side
of the street and angle parking on
the other.
CD Elimination of all parking In
the territory from to Oils o'clock
in the morning, and from Ais to
$50 o'clock in the afternoon, with
angle parking at all other hours.
A spirited meeting was held yes
terday in the offices Of the
Merchants and Manufacturers As
ISOLATION. at which Gen. Anton
Stephan, president of the IN. and
M. said the merchants had not
been treated fairly in the change of
parking regulations and had not
been given notice of the proposed
alteration.
The traffic director stated that,
while he had authority to make the
change without consulting the Cont
missioners. he had done so because
he deemed the matter of great i'm
portance. He denied that the re
quest for this change by the bus
companies had brought it about.
He also stated that If he should re-
turn to the angle parking system
on lower Thirteenth Street he would
have the citizens of Washington
on his neck"
Maurice D. Rosenberg, attorney
for the association, urged the re-
sumption of angle parking and
pointed to the fact that the
merchants had paid for the widen
ing of Thirteenth Street themselves.

District employees are not only re.
ceiving the lowest rates in compari-
son to the rates received by EN-
ployes Of the Federal Government
under the same law, but very large
proportion Of them are and have
been for some time at the minimum
rates of their respective grades, the
committee reported.
The committee found that an In
creased appropriation Of $S40.T5O
was needed to correct the situation
and recommended that the increases
be devided between two years The
amount recommended for this year
viii make up half the difference.
The committee declared that 1t Is
of the opinion that .appropria tons
should be sufficient to permit an
equitable adjustment OF salaries un-
der the classificat ton act based on
proper efficiency ratings
THE action taken in this case. :
it declared, has been prompted by
the fact that District employees have
not been given as much recognition
as the law would warrant.
THE amount recommended has
been allowed with the understanding
that first consideration in its appli-
cation win be toward relief in those
grades where the lower rates OF pay
apply.
