Commissioners
Study 0ff-5treet
Parking Bill
Zoning Act Change
Would Help Solve
Traffic Problem

The Commissioners today had
before them a bill to amend the
Zoning Act to give the Zoning Com
mission authority to compel pro-
vision for off-street parking facili-
ties in all new District construction.
The measure was approved yes
terday by the zoning body, of which
the three city heads are members,
and is due to be sent to the Capitol
soon.
In addition, the zoning officials
decided to meet the housing short
age caused by the influx of national
defense population here by drafting
tentative amendments to zoning reg
ulations to permit operation of ROOM
ing houses and boarding houses in
"A" restricted and semi-reStricted
districts for the duration of the
emergency. In any case. the amend
ments would become invalid after
December 81. 1943.
Amendments to the zoning regula-
tions require public hearing and
must be advertised 80 days in ad-
vance of that hearing The Zoning
Commission called the hearing for
December 3.
Possibility Of handling the prob
lem through a congressional amend
ment to the Zoning Act was discussed
by the commission, but the officials
decided to work it out through
changes in the regulations.
The proposed amendments to the
regulations provide specifically that
to operate rooming house or board
ing house in the "A" restristed or
semi-restricted areas a persons must
have a special certificate of occu-
pancy for such use of his premises.
The application will contain an un-
conditional statement that on the
Presidents declaration OF the termi-
nation of the emergency. or Decem-
ber 81, 1943, whichever comes earlier,
such use OF the premises must cease.
Any operator failing to close down
at that time becomes subject to PEN
alties of the Zoning Act.
The proposal to compel of street
parking provision in all new con-
struction has long been suggested as
one of the remedies to the District
traffic problem and was suggested
at the recent congressional hearing
conducted by Representative Schultz.
Democrat. of Indiana, which in
vestigated the traffic situation.

Measure Reported
FovorobIy; Provides
$l20,333 Fund

Early Senate action was expected
today on a House-approved bill
providing funds for an increase OF
100 men in the Metropolitan police
force, beginning December /.
The measure was reported favor
ably by the Senate Appropriet tons
Committee at brief executive
meeting late yesterday at which
Senator OMahoney, Democrat, of
Wyoming stressed the urgent need
Of the additional officers.
Appropriates Sl20,333.
An appropriation of sl20,333 is
called for in the bill to pay the
salaries of the 100 new policemen
from December / through the re-
mainder of the current fiscal year
which ends June 80. This is
reduction of $26,917 under the
amount provided in the measure as
It passed the House. Tile House,
however. anticipated that the force
would be enlarged october /, and
calculated the salaries of the addi-
tional officers on a nine-month in
stead of a Seven-month basis.
OF the total appropriation recon-
mended, $l03,7OS would come out
of the general revenues of the Dis
trict and the balance from the spe-
Cial fund derived from motor vehicle
fees and the 2-cent- "a gallon tax on
gasoline.
Revenue Held Adequate.
Senator O'Mahoney, who Is chair
man of the subcommittee in charge
of District appropriations. using sta
tistics prepared by municipal ofi-
cials, showed that District revenues
will bear the added expense without
causing deficit, since tax collections
and income from other sources in
the first quarter of the current fiscal
year were higher than original esti-
mates. largely because of the growth
IN population and the resulting in
crease in building construction.
Senator OMahoney told the COM
mlttee the additional policemen are
needed because of expansion of the
city.
Seventy-nine officers were added
to the force in July with funds
carried in the Appropriation Act for
the present fiscal year These, plus
the 100 provided for in the bill be-
fore the Senate, will provide a police
force of 1915.
