SEEK LEGAL
PARKING
RULES
District Conference
Wants Next Order
Lawyer Proof

District officials decided today
to take another stab at drafting a
night parking regulation, which
will pass q validity test in the
courts.
The decision was made at a
conference held by Commissioner
Melvin c. Hazen and Corporation
Counsel Elwood H. Seal with Po-
lice Chief Ernest w. Brown, Traf-
fic Director William A. Van Duzer,
Assistant Traffic Director M. o.
Eldridge and Assistant Corpora
tion Counsel Vernon Z. West.
It was agreed to draft a regu-
lation as aR amendment to the
traffic code by which noctural
parking on designated streets in
the city will be bannsd annually
kctween the hours If 2 and 8
a. M, from De- -ernber 20 to
March 81. The regulation will go
in effect this year 10 days after
the required advertisement in q
local newspaper.
Calls It Experiment
Following the conference, Seal
announced:
"The Commissioners some.
time and somehow must be in.
formed just how far they can
go i'm making such regulations.
It was decided that there is
no time like the present. This
regulation, as the ones ad-
verseIy ruled upon in the past
by the court, is still in the
nature of an experiment"
For the past two years the city
heads have been experimenting
with a traffic regulation, by which
important traffic arteries may be
kept clear of parked automobiles
as a means of facilitating removal
of snow. In each case the city
heads have met their Waterloo"
when parked automobiles Of law
yerS were Stagged."
Emergency Rule Beaten
Last year signs along the desig-
mated streets under the parking
ban contained the word "emerg-
ency," and the auto Of Attorney
Charles E. Ford was ticketed. He
opposed the law in court before
former Judge Gus A. Schuldt on
the ground that no emergency"
existed at the time his car was
parked and the regulation was
held invalid.

lation, which was in the nature of
a permanent traffic rule ban
