Parallel Parking
For Olivia, Too

Olivia - Olivia went back to
parallel parking the other day,
after having diagonal parking for
some time. A representative of the
state highway department who
attended a meeting of the council
stated that parking along the
pavement must be done in ac-
cordance with a state law passed
in 1887. Parallel parking signs
were furnished by the highway
department.
The state law provides that
where the street is over 70 feet in
width local authorities may de-
signate angle parking only with
permission of the highway de-
partment. Olivia's main thorough
fare is only Sc feet wide.

PROBE FOR D. c..
Want Quiz to Precede
Relief Fund Plea
BY A. ]. DRISCOLL
Citizens Associations Editor


A thorough investigation by the
District Commissioners regarding
unemployment here before asking
for relief funds in excess of the
$500, 900 already recommended was
urged last night by the Northeast
Citizens Association.
President Evan H. Tucker said
the situation was "deplorable and
rapidly becoming worse" and add
ed the local problem is caused to
a certain degree by outsiders who
remain in the city looking for en-
ployment after losing Government
jobs. In view of this, he said, the
problem seems to be one for the
Federal instead of the District gov
ernment.
BACKS HOME RULE
The association gave unanimous
Endorsement to the Lewis Randolph
bills, providing for local govern
ment for the District; approved
Senate bill 1882, making robbery a
capital offense where a dangerous
weapon is used, and disapproved
a bill by Representative PalmiSano
to exempt from taxation property
in the District owned by the
United Spanish War Veterans.
Continuation of the business
privilege tax was favored, with ex-
emptions placed at $4,000, instead
of an income tax or sales tax.
The Commissioners we're asked to
investigate charges that public
space is being used by private
enterprises at the Northeast Mar
ket.
President Evan H. Tucker an
nounced the following committee
chairmen: Police and fire, F. M.
Painter; public utilities, Roscoe
jenkins; membership, Daniel Gill
bert; colleges and schools, j. E.
Overlade; parks and spaces, A. j.
Hendricks, public health, DR.. E. B.

Joseph Notes: streets and avenues,
E. C. Worden, and legislative and
executive committees, Mr.. Tucker.
SEEK POISONER
Aroused over the recent poison
ing of dogs and cats in their ter
ritory, the Hillcrest Citizens AS
sociation, at one of the largest
meeting in it's history, last night
made plans for united action to
apprehend the poisoner.
Lieut.. w. j. Cunningham, OF the
Eleventh precinct, urged all mem
bers to report Immediately the
presence of any suspicious per-
sons.
Resolutions were adopted urg-
ing restoration of an appropria-
ton of $650,OO0 to the District
supply bill for a new Pennsylvania
Avenue bridge.
The association voted to affiliate
with the District of Columbia
Suffrage Association in its drive
to obtain the ballot for residents
of the District, and favored plac-
ing all school Fairgrounds under
the Community Center Depart
ment Of the Board of Education.
r. H. Worrell, George w. Alb
sher, M. F. West, A. V. Eagen and
C. P. Hall were appointed to make
