On motion OF counsel for T. Mot
ford Smith, motorist who had been
charged with violation of the regu-
lation q Police Court judge some
months ago held that the regula ton
was unreasonable since it applied
without regard to whether snow was
actually present on the streets.
This contention is wholly without
merit" said Associate Justice D. Law
renee Groner. speaking for the court
The removal OF snow will be Alto
eether obstructed or at least seriously
hampered by the presence Of automo-
biles parked along the curb: and this,
we think, Is enough to justify the
regulation"
He stated that Congress had vAlidly
delegated authority to the Commits
siOners to make and enforce reason
able rules for safe and convenient use
of the streets for public travel"
indicating the court believes the
Commissioners may exercise wide dis
cretiOn under this delegation of au-
thority. the court said the delega-
ton necessarily includes the right to
restrict the parking OF cars on the
public street whenever such parking
interferes unreasonably either with

By G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Taking full cognizance of business
recession, President Roosevelt. in his
message to Congress Governing today in
special session, said that ultimate
safety lay in cordial and confident
inent and every kind" of citizen and
vice versa.
The President laid before Congress
. preliminary statement of the ad-
ministrations intention to come to
the aid Of business through the en-
courasement of private capital to
enter wider fields. and through the
removal of unjust provisions" of the
tax laws.
No definite program for business
revival was announced. The Presi-
dent. however, said that little later
he would send another message deal
ing with private capital and housing
on a large scale. He pointed ouN that
already the committees of Congress
and the Treasury are at work on tax
revision.
While injustices in the tax laws
should be removed the President
warned that no amendment should be
made which would enable corpora =
tions to avoid paving their fair share
Of the taxes. and that the aggregate
revenues OF the Government must be
kept up.
Balanced Budget Seen.
As very definite and encouraging
promise to business and the country
the President asserted the Federal
budget for the coming fiscal year
would seek balance between ex-
penditures and revenues. "A budget
which expect can be brought within
q definite balance" the President said.
The President dealt in detail with
the specific program of legislation
which he had in mind when he called
Congress into special session-crop
control, wages and hours in industry,
reorganization OF the executive branch
Of the Government. and conservation
Of natural and national resources
through the Establishment of regional
Z. v. AS.
What these four subjects promise ="
said the President, in continued and
increased purchasing power what
they promise in greater efficiency in
the use Of governmental funds-are
intelligent foundations for other plans
for encouragement Of industrial ex-
pansion with Government help.

tentment is an almost necessary ba<
