CITY AGAIN TO
IMPOUND CARS;
CODE REVISED
ToWing-In viii Be Resumed
Within Three Weeks,
Council Decides.

Impounding Of automobiles parked
in the downtown area from to
o:15 a. m. will be resumed by police
in two or three weeks, after legal
advertising. City council Wednes-
day night passed an ordinance re-
moving a flaw from the new traffic
ordinance.
At the same time. councilmen de-
cided to introduce an ordinance at
the next meeting reducing size of
the downtown area banned for early
morning parking, and to reduce the
time to to 9:15 a. m
Before the session. sentiment ia
voring possible elimination of the
early morning parking ban was ex-
pressed by several councilmen All
we're agreed that some changes
should be made Immediately.
Suggestion that the entire ordi-
nance be turned back to the citi-
zens' traffic committee, which rec
commended it, for further study, was
made by Ernest c. Ropkey, council
president.
Favor Further Trial
Councilmen Leo F. Welch and
Maurice Tenant strongly favored
giving the present provisions
more adequate trial and obtained
passage of the amending ordinance
removing the flaw The ordinance
was carried over protest of Coun-
cilmen George A. Henry and Clar-
ence Wheatley.
Let's go ahead and enforce the
ordinance for a while and get all
the kicks and applause, if any, and
then we can make what changes
appear necessary" Tenant urged.
Sticker fixing came in for criti-
cism from Ropkey, who said;
This thing of wholesale sticker
fixing is breeding contempt for law
Any 21-year-old kid owning a car
can fix a sticker and then give the
law the horse laugh. I'm not blam-
ing the police so much as the Sys-
tenn"
Too Drastic, Says Gardner
Among those most strongly in
favor of a change in the ordinance
was Councilman Fred G. Gardner,
who suggested no action be taken
at the meeting, waiting, instead,
until all necessary changes could
be made in one ordinance.
Gardner suggested reducing the
area under ban and also the hours
when parking is banned. declaring
the ban is entirely too drastic.
Councilman James A. Houck also
complained the early morning ban
is too stringent.
When we we're studying this thing
1t was suggested we take in the
entire mile square. Why, if we did,
there'd be war"
Wants Angle Parking
Councilmen c. A. Hildebrand and
Charles G. Morgan we're absent.
Plea for reinstatement of angle
parking on the south side of Georgia
street between Capitol and SEN
ate avenues was voiced by Frank
F. Powell of the Henry Coburn Sto-
rage and Warehouse Company, 221
West Georgia street.

ment Of legal counsel and other ex-

ney, has been selected as attor-
ney by the utility district directors
and trustees.
Two other ordinances, trans
ferring funds within departments
and appropriating $8,362 to various
city funds from the general fund,
we're adopted.

REYKJAVIK, Iceland, April 30.-The
patrol boat Icelandic Odin headed
north this morning with an airplane
lashed on her forward deck and an Ice
landic flyer aboard, bound for Green
land to look for Augustine Courtauld,
the young British explorer.
She is due to reach the ice barrier
about so miles from Angmagsalik on
Friday morning if the good weather
holds.
Just before she sailed word came
from Bergen, Norway, that Capt. Albin
Nuremberg, Swedish flyer, who is also
joining in the search, had been advised
not to take off from there until the
weather improved.
The temperature was around zero
and there was danger of ice forming
on the wings of his plane.
Capt. Nuremberg reached Bergen
from Malnno last night in his single
motored airmail plane, equipped with
both pontoons and skis.
Upon his arrival here the Danish
cruiser Hvidbjorn will sail for Angmag-
salik in advance of the plane, sending
back weather reports at intervals for
Capt. Ahrenbergs guidance as he con-
tinues toward Greenland.
Courtauld was left in Northern
Greenland to spend the Winter by the
British Arctic air route expedition. Re-
lief squads seeking him have been I'M
able to locate his camp.
