ALL-N|GHT PARKING
BAN is |ND0RSED
BrookIand Citizens Give
Unanimous Approval to
Van Duzer Plan.

Unanimous approval of Traffic Di-
rector William A. Van Duzer's pro-
posal to eliminate all-night parking
was recorded by the Brookland Citi-
zens' Association last night at meet
ing held in the Masonic Temple,
Twelfth and Monroe streets northeast.
John E. Bucklln, chairman of the
Public Utilities Committee of the
association, said that citizens who
own cars should be financially in
dependent enough to provide garages
for their vehicles in order to remove
them from the streets at night. He
stated the criticism and ridicule
which had been thrust upon the Po-
lice Department was unjust, due to
the impossible situation of the
streets in the District.
Would Improve Conditions.
Bucklin stated the conditions on
narrow streets would undoubtedly i'm
prove with the enforcement Of the
ban on parking and urged the group
to advocate the measure. citing other
cities which have the ban as reason
for his argument He presented
survey made bv the Office of the di-
rector of traffic. in which it was
stated that 73 per cent of the auto
mobiles in the fifth precinct could
be placed in garages.
Marvin M. Mclean, president OF
the association, said the traffic situ-
alton in the District has reached an
ACUTE stage. and recommended
stricter enforcement Of the regula-
tions now in force Mclean particu-
iarly stressed enforcement of the
double parking ban, chasing this-vfo-
lation of the law as a reason for
many accidents.
DR.. George R. Ellis stated that the
wholesale parking of cars throughout
the city was detrimental to the
beauty of Washington. and the
Street Cleaning Department was
greatly handicapped in its efforts
to clear the streets.
Protest Street Car Service.
The Brookland street car service
was protested by Bucklin. who stated
that since the merger conditions have
become worse, despite the promised
Improvement when the merger was
inaugurated One-man cars, he said,
are responsible for much OF the
traffic congestion in the downtown
area and he also advocated the con-
tinuance of Catholic University street
cars to the end of the line.
Endorsement of the taxicab imam
cial responsibility bill, which has al
ready passed the Senate and Will be
taken up in the House on District
day next Monday was approved by
the association. The measure d.
rects the Public Utilities Commission
to require all cab owners to obtain
bonds or insurance policies for the
settlement of claims resulting from
deaths, personal injuries or property
damage.
William B. Lewis praised the work
of the C. w. A. in the Brookland area
and cited many improvements mace
in that section.
