For Purkinq

An appeal to clear up "the acute
parking situation" near Sixteenth
and @ streets NV. was made today
by DR.. Robert E. Moran, nationally
known plastic surgeon, who appeared
in Traffic Court on a charge of
parking in a bus zone, which he him.
self had asked police to make.
DR.. Moran told Judge Edward M.
Curran that he called the police yes
terday and asked that he be given a
ticket for parking his car in a bus
stop zone near the Cairo Hotel,
where. he said, buses are parked
from "a to 48 hours continuously,
stopping traffic and blocking private
driveway entrances.
He said that residents of the area
find it almost impossible to get a
place to park, and said that even
when the buses are not there the
residents may not use the bus space.
Il have a garage and I can't get
Into 1t because the buses block the
entrance" DR.. Moran said. The po-.
lice said nothing could be done about
It." he said, adding, "it's confusing
to me-"
Judge Curran commented:
TITS confusing to me. too" and
observed that the section often
looked like "a bus terminal"
Judge Curran took the case Under
advisement.
