TOWN LAW
ASSA|LED BY
BUSINESS men
Repeal of Parking Ban to
Be Demanded at Ses-
sion Tonight.
BRANDED AS ARBITRARY
Refusal by City Council
Will Launch Suit
for Injunction.

Criticising the downtown parking
ban as unreasonable, arbitrary and
oppressive" Indianapolis business
men tonight will demand the city
council repeal portions of the new
traffic law.
This was decided today at a
meeting of the group and William
Boyce, attorney and former city
clerk, will make the demands on
the council.
If the council does not act, men,
bers Of the steering committing Of
the protesters will file an injunction
suit to test the traffic law.
An ordinance amending and an
other resembling the parking ban
are ready for presentation to the
council. The parking ban is to be
enforced again, starting Wednesday,
following rewording of the traffic
law to make impounding Of cars
violating the morning on-parking
rule mandatory.
Attacked as Detrimental
In statement signed by Frank
S. Fishback, chairman, and S. j.
Shaffer and E. S. Conner, commit
tee members, the business men at
tackled the parking ban as "detri-
mental to the city's business inter
eSts."
The committee is opposed to Civ
ing Objectionable features of the
ordinance a trial because if they are
invalid by reason of their Oppres-
siveness and unreasonableness and
are detrimental to the city's bust
ness interests, then a further trial
o. the same regulations can serve
no useful purpose, whereas great
harm and injury to downtown bust
ress will result from continued en-
forcement,' the statement said, in
part.
Boyce said present traffic regula-
tions are strong enough, provided
stickers we're inforced and collec-
tons made on them.
Repeal Ordinance Ready
Councilman George A. Henry Will
submit an ordinance repeating the
parking ban at council meeting,
holding it has proven unsatisfac-
tory and has hurt trade Of down.
town firms.
City Attorney James E. Deery also
is prepared to submit an ordinance
reducing the area included in the
ban, and changing the time limit
from 7 to Oils a. m. to to 9:15
a. m. Other city officials point out
it would be difficult to change the
time limit because of the expense
of obtaining and erecting new warn
ing signs.
Under Deery's ordinance, the area
in which the ban would be effective
would be bounded by Capitol, Ohio,
Delaware and Maryland streets.
Petitions which the committee
claims are signed by approximately
1000 business men protesting the
parking ban are in the hands of
City Clerk Henry o. Goett, and will
be submitted to the council to-
night.
