Eng|and's Navicert
System Goes Into
Effect Today
American Exporters
Lend Cooperation,
Embassy Aide Says
Dy the Associated Press.

Dy the Associated Press.
Great Britain's navicert system,
designed to speed approved Ameri-
can goods through contraband pa
troll areas to neutral European ports,
went into effect today.
The system amounts to a pre-
examination of American exports
by British consulates. The consuls
were authorized to accept the first
applications for such examinations
today.
A navicert, or naval certificate,
may be presented to contraband
patrol to show that the British gov
ernment already knows the nature
OF shipment and has no objection
to its transportation to neutral
country. The French and British
Embassies announced jointly yes
terday that British navicerts would
be recognized by both the British
and French contraband control au-
thorities.
Thus, if an entire cargo were COW
cred by navicerts, the patrols or
dinarily would permit the vessel to
proceed without examination. The
British Embassy has made clear,
however. that navicerts do not offer
an absolute guarantee of free pas
sage, but will expedite shipments to
neutrals.
An embassy official said his gov
ernment had found American ex-
porters on the whole very willing
to cooperate" because their ex-
perience in the last war was that it
worked very we'll"
For the present, the system will
apply only on American shipments
to Belgium, Iceland, Italy, The
Netherlands, Denmark, Finland,
Estonia, Latvia. Norway and Sweden.
The State Department has said
the system will be one operated
by the British government and
American exporters, and that this
Government is not officially in
volved. 1t has declared, however,
that this country is reserving all its
rights under international law.
The navicerts will be issued for a
fee of 81 on shipments of less than

Long independence Day
Holiday By Some Firms

the Chamber of Commerce.
All banks announced officially that
they would be closed on both Mon
day and Tuesday. Coal dealers,
beauty parlors and dry cleaners, az
we'll as some private offices, Wilt
take the triple holiday also, and will
be closed both business days on Mon
day and Tuesday.
All other retail and wholesale will
close on Tuesday, July 4, only and
will be open for business as usual on
Monday.
Always observed as virtually a
complete holiday in the city, the
Fourth of July falls on Tuesday this
year. For that reason, many con-
Germs have decided not to open on
Monday, the day intervening between
Sunday and the Fourth, which will
give employees of those concerns a
triple holiday for the season.
No definite statement was made
as to the course to be followed by
city and county offices, though they
have heretofore taken at least TIC
full holiday on the Fourth of July
ande are expected to do SO this year

across the railroad, for these cars to
be parked. There is space on Mont
gomery street where these cars can
be parked. The parking area adjoin-
ing the McCoin building on Young
street is fixed now SO that as many
as 25 cars can be easily accommodate
ed. The members of the City Council
stated that the city was Immediate
ly going to complete the grading of
this lot so that it could accommodate
rs cars. 1t was further brought out
that it is a good business investment
for the uptown employers and en-
ployces to park their own cars off
Garnett street and let prospective
customers park long enough in front
of the stores to shop, then moving
on. providing additional space for
new customers.
An appea. was ma :, IL the citizens
of Henderson to completely eliminate
double parking and a..ii-uay parking
on Garnett street, not altogether be-
cause they may be forced to by the
u. S. Bureau of Roads, but because
it means additional business to Hen
dCrson. AS it was brought up, there
are many reserved spaces on Garnctt
street Some of these are necessary
in the case of merchants who must
have access to their stores for de-
livery and unloading purposes; how
ever. there are others which are not
a public convenience, and this mat
ter will be taken up at the next meet
ing Of the City Council, and recon-
mcndations made to eliminate the re-
served areas which are not nccc. sary
and which prevent the public from
freer use of the streets, it was said.
Members Of tne City Council pres
ent a sured the traffic committee
that the Council was willing to adopt
any measure to relieve the present
situation and strong campaign was
planned Immediately to SHOW the
public Of the loss Of trade by the
present system, and to bring to their
attention the serious affect of any
regulation put on the city by the u.
S. Bureau of Roads, if prompt action
is not taken Immediately to clear up
the condition.

Remedy Is Studied Here
For Traffic Congestion
Elimination of Double Parking To Be Ordered;
Cooperation of Citizens Asked as Alternative
to Action of Federal Agencies

w. McCracken as chairman. It's meet
ing was ''for the purpose OF taking
immediate action in relieving the
present dangerous and inconvenient
parking situation on Garnett street :
Mayor Powell and Alderman Hicks
asked the ''close cooperation Of the
chamber with the City Council in
meeting the problem.
Mayor Powell read letter from
the chief engineer of the United
States Bureau Of Public Roads, as
scrting that unless the present situa-
ton on U. S. Highway No. | within
the Henderson city limits was
changed immodiately that they y
would be forced to prohibit all park-
ing on Garnett street from city limits
to city limits"
Suggestions made at the meeting
all related, it was said, to "the full
and complete cooperation of the pub
lie to do all possible as individuals
to eliminate completely all double
parking and all parking for over one
hour at the time"
Many citizens, it was said, do not
realize that when Garnctt street was
repavcd several years ago by the U.
S. Bureau Of Roads, that all rights
to the street were abdicated in their
entirety. In other words, the u. S.
Bureau Of Roads now has complete
control of the main street Of the city,
it was stated. 1t can prohibit any
parking at all on the street, and can,
as it has done, direct the method Of
parking on the street; the City Coun-
ell Of Henderson is directly under the
jurisdiction Of this Federal authority
and is compelled to regulate the
streets as directed. it was explained.
It is for this reason that the city Of
ficals, joined in most fundamentally
by the traffic committee Of the Cham
Der of Commerce, urges the public to
park only in regular parking places,
and only for a shorter length Of time
'aetore The city is forced to resort to
arrests and other means to insure
any use of the street to the citizens
of the town.
Another point brought up IN the
meeting was that local merchants
lose annually thousands of dollars
because employers and employees of
some uptown firms park their own
cars on Garnett street during the
business hours. There is at present
considerable space on William street,

Remedies for the increasing con-
eestion in traffic in this city were dls
cussed at meeting OF the traffic
and transportation committee OF the
Henderson Chamber Of Commerce
and city officials at a meeting We'd
nesday evening at the commerce
body's quarters.
Provision of parking facilities by
the city and an appeal to citizens IN
general to avoid double parking un-
der threat of restrictions by the Unit
cd States Bureau Of Public Roads was
one result of the meeting.
There was an extensive discussion
of the situation and many sugges-
tions were made as to procedure. 1t
was pointed out that when the Fed
eral government furnished all of the
funds in 1884 to pave Garnett street,
the citys main business thorough
fase. which is the traffic lane of the
national highway, Route !, through
the city, certain restrictions were M
posed as condition for getting the
work. and one of them related to
parking regulations. 1t was stated
that the United States Bureau of Pub
lie Roads now has complete control
oil the main street of the city
1t was further explained that this
bureau can prohibit any parking at
all on this street. and direct the
method of parking, as it has done,
and that 1.-The City Council Of Hen
derson is directly under the jurisdic-
ton of this Federal authority and is
compelled to regulate the street as
directed"
Observance of the legal limit Of
one hour parking and the use Of
cross streets for longer parking
periods was urged by the group. 1t
was said that at the next meeting Of
the City Council the matter of re-
served parking spaces on Garnett
street will be taken up foA- c:scus-
sion and some solution of the prob
lem
Mayor Henry 7. Powell and Alder
man B. H. Hicks, who were at the
meeting, assured the commit ee that
the Council is willing to do any
thing possible to relieve the present
traffic congestion, and promised full
cooperation to that end.
