APPROVAL VOTED
FOR NEW PARKING
BANAT CROSSINGS
D. c. Commissioners Act
on Amendment to
Regulation.
PAINTING OF CURBS
TO WARN MOTORISTS
20 Feet From Existing Building
Edge to Govern, Effective
After To-Day Notice.

The Board Of Commissioners today
approved an amendment to the 90
Observation-Disclosures parking regu-
lation to make the rule effective 20
feet back Of the existing line Of the
building at intersections, instead of
the theoretical building line.
Commissioner Melvin c. Hasen, who
suggested the amendment at a con-
ference with other District officials
yesterday. said the altered regulation
would become effective after 10 days
public notice.
The distance in which the parking
ban will be effective will not exceed
so feet in any case. At intersections
where there are no buildings it will
be decided in each case how far back
parking is to be outlawed, officials
said.
Enforcement of the regulation, which
had been widely criticized by automo-
bile clubs and motorists. had been
under suspension since a week ago
yesterday. Although it had been up
held by Police Court Judge Walter j.
Casey, Commissioner Hazen had or
dered temporary suspension of en-
forcement pending yesterdays confer
ence.
Curbs to Be Painted.
Mr.. HaZen said curbs will be painted
yellow in the areas in which the park
ing ban will be in effect. Only three
yellow lines. marked at a point 20
feet back of the building line, were
used in enforcing the regulation pre-
viously.
Police Supt. Ernest w. Brown, one
OF those who attended the two-hour
conference, said the regulation, as
amended, is similar to police regula-
ton which was in effect in 1925. The
police rule applied only to the con-
gested areas of the city, however, he
said.
Opponents Of the regulation had
contended that the building line varies
SO greatly that the only method of
determining the line would be to make
survey of the property at each in
tersection. Hundreds of motorists had
protested tosautomobile clubs and Dis
trict officials that they did not know
what the yellow markers signified.
Law Hit as Unreasonable.
The American Automobile Associa-
tion has ridiculed the law since 1t was
put into effect, claiming it to be "un-
necessary and unreasonable"
Judge Casey's decision upholding the
validity OF the regulation was handed
down August l3 in case in which
the A. A. A. represented the defendant.
After the magistrates decision the
A. A. A. said it would appeal the case
to the Court Of Appeals.
Yesterdays conference was attended
by Corporation Counsel Elwood Seal,
Traffic Director William A. Van Duzer
and Assistant Traffic Director M. o.
Eldridge.

When he was asked today II the

led him to resign his membership In
the league, Mr.. Lamberton replied:
Il have not resigned and I have no
intention of resigning. The charges
are ridiculous
In fact, since the charges were
made. we have increased our men,
bership. This sort of red batting seems
to have convinced number of people
Of the value of an organization like
ours. We have a membership drive
going on in Washington at the very
moment, and it is having results"

here"
Dallas w. Smythe, vice chairman of
the Washington chapter of the league

United States once of Education, the

It recommends that the embargo
against the Spanish government be
lifted and that japanese goods be
boycotted.
