PRATT GETS PRAISE
FOR PARKING STAND.
Head of Association Backs
Police Chief in Opposing
Traffic Ban.

A letter commencing Maj. Henry G.
Pratt, superintendent Of police, on his
stand against elimination Of downtown
parking without prohibiting parking on
other business streets throughout the
city, was sent to the police chief today
by Maj Gen. Anton Stephan. president
of the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association.
Maj. Pratt expressed his views on the
subject yesterday at a traffic hearing
of a subcommittee of the Senate Dis
trict committee.
Gen. Stephan pointed out that If
parking were done away with In the
downtown area alone, merchants there
would suffer and there would be a cor
responding drop in real estate values.
This, he said, would affect assessment
values and the amount of taxes col
lected
Chicago is the only major city of
the country, the latter stated, in which
there is no parking in the downtown
district. There automobiles cannot be
left on the street in the loop" but
municipal parking space is provided
and there is rapid transportation from
the outlying communities to the heart
of the business district.
The association has also aligned
itself against the proposed advertising
ordinance, which would limit the sign
in front of a store to the merchants
name and the name of what he sells.
A committee has been appointed to
study the situation and then to confer
with the District Commissioners with
view to making recommendations for
model ordinance which would be less
stringent in its restrictions.
