A warning 10 motorists who make
parking spaces by moving other cars
was issued II Police Court yesterday
when Robert n. DeSsez. 1923 Massachu-

Dessez stop his car little ahead OF an
auto which was occupying too much
space, release the brake of the machine
and push 1t up several feet When
asked what he was doing Dessez said
the parked car was taking up too much
space, as under the traffic rules only 3
feet are supposed to separate parked
cars
Nevertheless. Policeman Tut prompt
" escorted the man to the Traffic Blu
reau. where he deposited $40 collateral.
In court DeSsez was told that while
1t might be provoking to see car TAX

unauthorized person to tamper with the
machine SO parked.
