TRAFFIC Law
GRACE GIVEN
CITY AUTOISTS
Drivers viii Get Several
Days to Study New
Parking Code.

indianapolis motorists today were
given several more days of grace to
become acquainted with new traffic
rules, after city council Monday
night had cleared the way for en-
forcement by ratifying the tow-in
contract signed by the safety board.
The town contract is held by
indianapolis Motor Inns, Inc.
Captain Lewis Johnson announced
today that police will continue
giving warning stickers to motor
lists violating the ordinance until
Monday when active enforcement
probably will begin.
Business Is Hurt
Business of downtown concerns is
being injured by the ordinance al
ready, although enforcement has
not been started, safety board men,
berS were told today by Frank Fish
back, restaurant proprietor.
The council failed to heed request
of Councilman George A. Henry
that action Of the ordinance ratify-
ing the contract be delayed until
consideration could be given an or
dinance he submitted Monday night
which would give the tow-in plum"
to at least twelve garages in differ
ent parts of the city.
Parking Is Banned
Henry argued that having con-
tract garages in various parts of the
city would benefit motorists by pre-
venting necessity for hauling i'm
pounded cars long distances through
traffic, reducing danger Of damage
to the cars.
Principal feature of the new traf-
f1c ordinance is the section banning
parking in the downtown traffic
area, bounded by Vermont, Senate,
South and Alabama streets, between
Z and 9:15 a. m. daily except Sun
days and holidays.
All cars violating this section and
other cars improperly parked will be
ordered towed or craned to a con-
tract garage by police. Cars parked
overtime will continue to receive
Stickers.
Motorists will be forced to pay 50
to recover cars towed in and $3.50
for cars craned in, of which So will
be paid at police headquarters, as a
fine, before the car Is ordered re-
leased.
Ropkey announced public hearing
would be held on Henry'S proposed
ordinance at the next meeting,
