HAzEN REGARDS
new REGULATION
UNREASONABLE
Old Intersection Rule
May Be Amended

The District government wasted
a lot of yellow paint and motor
lists wasted a lot of time in worry
over that pesky 20.feet-from-the-
building-line parking ban.
Today came the announcement
that the regulation isn't going to
be enforced-and this despite the
ruling Saturday by Judge Walter
Casey in Police Court upholding
the validity of the ordinance.
WILL CALL CONFERENCE
Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen,
while the case testing the regula-
tion was pending before Judge
Casey, expressed disfavor with the
rule, terming it unreasonable"
He was of the same opinion to-
day, following the court decision,
and said enforcement of the regu-
lation would be held up until he
could have a conference with
Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer, Major Ernest w. Brown,
superintendent of police, and Cor.
poration Counsel ElWood H. Seal
this week.
Hazen said he favored a regula-
ton which would extend the park.
ing restriction from the intersec-
ton rather than from the build
ing line. At present there is rule
which bans parking within 20 feet
Of an intersection and it ap-
peared likely this would be
amended while the building-line
ban is junked.
VAN DUZER's IDEA
Brainchild of Director Van
Duzer, the building-line restriction
was born last May along with q
wave of other regulations which
swept away thousands of curb.
side parking spaces throughout
the city.
Enforcement of the rule was
held up for more than a month
while crews Of traffic division
workers went around the city
daubing the curb with three vel.
low stripes to indicate the forbid.
den zone.
But when police were ordered
to enforce the rule, the American
Automobile Association stepped
into the picture and brought the
test case before Judge Casey. This
revealed the yellow stripes were
not measured from the building
line at numerous intersections.
Casey ordered the regulation Sus-
pended while he pondered over
evidence in the case. His decision
upheld the ruling.

The money, Bone said, would be

provided $13,O00,OO0 for the project
during the 1899 fiscal year.

was insufficient to carry on

Bone did not specify the amount
the project would receive, asserting
that would depend on the needs.
