Hazen Studies Plan.
Commissioner Hazen said today he
would give careful study to the pro-
posal of the Traffic Advisory Council.
The Commissioner indicated he be-
lieved something must be done to pre-
vent traffic blockades which occur
when heavy snow paralyzes traffic.
However, he said he wanted to make
sure the rights Of the motoring public
I were preserved
The situation is desperate when
heavy snowfall occurs, causing heavy
drifts to pile up st the curb, heavily
| restricting the movement of traffic
which is made worse by the parking
of cars Hazen said.
Il wish to add, however, that We
must protect the interests of car own
! ers and see that some provision is
available for the parking of autor1o-
biles. I am hoping that the Traffic
+ Advisory Council will be able to show
how the automobile parking problem
could be handled if their proposal
should be adopted by the Comnis-
sioners."
| Studies made by Traffic Director Van
! Duzer showed that on this 583-mile
stretch of SO highways, 5l5,100 cars
pass every "a hours, with 7,442 cars
parked there in the same period.
| Harry E. Bedell, chairman of the
councils Parking Committee. pro-
posed the new regulations and they
were adopted with one dissenting vote
after amendment of an original pro-
posal to start the parking restriction
| at l am. instead of 2 am. and to ex-
i tend the period of the ban to March
Is instead of March /.
Edwin S. Hege cast the negative vote
after pointing out that Weather Bu-
reau records showed snow falls in con-
i siderable amount in Washington only
on three days. He said a prohibition
against parking for nearly three
months to meet an anticipated emer-
| gency would work a hardship on the
motorist. The restriction, he declared
would cost motorists $37, 900 q month
in garage rent. .......,.....
Robert Dalgleish, chief engineer OF
the Capital Transit Co., however, ex-
planned the economic loss through
traffic delay amounted to more than
the cost to motorists affected in garage
