Cars to Be Counted Against
Vacant Garages and Lots
Available in City.
FIRST CHECK TO BE MADE
THURSDAY OF THIS WEEK
Early-Morning Shifts to Learn
Number of Automobiles at Curb
Between 2 and 6 AM.

Plans for an exhaustive survey Of the
all-night parking situation in Wash
ington were completed today by the Po-
lice Department and the Department
of Vehicles and Traffic.
The police will count every car parked
on the streets between and 6 am. and
the Department of Vehicles and Traffic
will make a city-wide investigation to
determine the number of vacant ga
RACES and other off-street parking IA
cilities.
First Count Thursday.
The survey was planned as a result
of sporadic criticism from members OF
Congress over the failure of District Of
fcials to put a ban on all-night park
ing. Traffic officials have repeatedly
held that such a prohibition cannot be
put in force at this time because of the
lack of public and private garages and
other places off public streets where
cars might be parked. They expect the
survey to bear out their contention.
The first count of cars parked on the
street all night will be made Thursday
morning between 2 and o'clock. This
period was selected because traffic au-
thorities believe it will provide a more
accurate check on the number of all
night parkers than any other time.
Policemen on duty on the midnight
to 8 a m. shift will tabulate the number
of cars parked on their respective
beats. The number on each block will
be noted SO as to provide the Depart
ment of Vehicles and Traffic with in
formation with which to show whether
off-street parking facilities in certain
neighborhoods will accommodate the
cars parked there all night.
First Survey of Kind.
On questionnaireS prepared for the
survey the Department of Vehicles and
Traffic will list the number of vacant
garages and vacant lots on which cars
could be parked
The survey will be the first one of its
kind ever undertaken in Washington.
Traffic officials expect it to yield much
valuable information and put an ef-
fective check on agitation for a pro-
hibition against all-night parking.

BUILDERS TO USE RADIO
Short-Wave Set Found Suitable for
Commercial Projects.

Utilization by the building industry
of a recently developed short-wave radio
set suitable for use over distances up
to two or three miles and particularly
adaptable for use in structures COM
pleted or being erected is expected, with
a view to improving communication
among workers on skyscrapers and con-
seouently saving time and eliminating
errors.
The Federal Radio Commission only
recently announced the perfection Of
the commercial set, which may be used
on shipboard, railroad trains and along
short stretches Of highways under con-
struction or repair. While the availa-
bility of short waves has been known
for many years, their commercial adapt
ability had not been widely established
The set was developed in a large
commercial radio laboratory. where
tests revealed that frequencies around
&C, 900 kilocycles, or about meters, are
dependable and stable and may be used
for transmission and reception of mes
sages over distances up to two or three
miles.
