to slim posts rather than to trees.
1t would take approximately $4,000 to
repaint the curb markings applied under
the recent regulation prohibiting parking
within 20 feet of the building line at inter
sections. The Commissioners now favor

PARKING SPACE
NEED CITED BY
TRAFFIC HEAD
Van Duzer Says Big
Apartments offend

If apartment builders would
make some provision for the park
ing of automobiles in the construc-
ton Of buildings in Washington,
a great deal of the present traffic
congestion would be eliminated,
William A. Van Duzen, director of
traffic and vehicles of the District
government, said today.
"Of course it is too late now to
provide parking space for the
apartment houses already erect
ed" he added, "but a permit
should be refused to any apart
ment builder, in the future, who
does not provide space for at
least certain percentage of the
automobiles of the tenents of
the building.
NO PLACE TO PARK
Whenever a large apartment
is built in residential section
Of the city there is Immediately
a crowding of the street in front
of the apartment and adjacent
streets, due to the fact that the
tenants have no place to park
their automobiles during the
night"
The traffic director says that he
regrets tile recent building line re
strictions on parking are some
what of a hardship on automo
bile ownelS, but says that it is es
Sential i'll the interests of safety
that something be done to cut
down the mounting traffic toll in
Washington.
LESS ACCIDENTS
He believes that if the intersec
tionS are cleared there is less likeli.
hood Of accidents. The proposed
parking rule will restrict the park
ing Of automobiles for at least 20
feet from the building line and 1t
is estimated that this rule will
take from possible parking space
in the District room for approx
mately $500 cars.
