PR0BERS
Keech Strikes At Plan
OF Municipal Garages
And Parking Lots

Consideration Of a proposal to
ban parking throughout the day
in the downtown area brought
about a difference of opinion in
the District Commissions special
traffic committee of IS at a meet
ing today in Commissioner Melvin
Hazen'S office.
Opposition to the proposal came
from Charles H. Frame and
Arthur j. Sundlun, local mer.
chants representatives on the
committee.
Both pointed out that during
the Shrine convention, when bust
ness should have been at its best
among the downtown merchants,
ban on parking in the down
town area was put in effect, max
ing the section appear, as Mr..
Frame put it, "like tag day in
Glasgow.
Fear Business Ruin
The merchants argued that last
year the proposal of a downtown
parking ban was discarded follow
ing a meeting of business men
with the city heads. At that meet
ing, it was recalled, a large ma
jority of downtown merchants
spoke against the ban and de-
clared if one were put into effect
their business would be put on the
verge of ruin.
Harold E. Doyle, local real es-
tate dealer, spoke in favor of the
parking ban, declaring it would
eliminate numerous present traf-
fic problems. Traffic Director w.
A. Van Duzer and Police Chief
Ernest W. Brown also were in
clined toward the parking prohihi.

ming Commission, joined the ban
proponents.
Richmond B. Keech. vice chair.
man of the Public Utilities Com
mission, struck a blow at the pro-
posal to establish municipal
garages and parking lots.
ImpOunding Proposed
He pointed out that if such a
proposal was adopted and down.
town parking prohibited, condi.
tions would be made worse by
having traffic concentrated at one
locality and all moving into that
area in the morning rush period
and from it in the evening in
groups. With the present park.
ing regulations, he said, there
was no concentrated movement of
traffic.
Other suggestions considered at
the meeting included widening of
certain thoroughfares in the down.
town section as means of speed
ing up traffic and impounding
of automobiles for overtime park
ing violations.
Major Brown, commenting on
the latter suggestion, declared the
department now has insufficient
cranes to taw away cars which
interfere with traffic by hazard
GUS parking and at present would
not be able to enforce regula-
ton to tow cars off that merely
park overtime.
The committee is scheduled to
hold another meeting later this
week to adopt definite recon-
mendations for consideration Of
