NEW PARKING BAN TO START SUNDAY
Court Action May Result to Test Legality of Certain
 Features

Whether the city can take any steps against all-night parking of cars on streets which it has never accepted" was a question raised in several sources today, thereby adding another point of confusion to the police board ban against all- night parking everywhere in the city The ban is due to become effective February 1.
 One lawyer told The Democrat that he doubted very much If the city authorities could force the owner of car parked on private street to remove 1t from in front Of his home. There are many such streets about the city, which have never been formally accepted.
 Though car owners, under the police board regulation, must keep their cars off the streets at night after February 1, there is the prob- lem of where they are going to put them. The zoning laws, 1t now de- velops, forbid the use of vacant lots in residential districts for commercial parking places. Corpor- ation Counsel J. Gregory Lynch says that his office will probably recommend to the Board of Alder men that a general amendment be made to the Zoning ordinances to allow use of vacant lots for parking places.
 Another hitch complained of by motorists is that construction of garages in residential sections is limited. There can V only one gar age stall for each family in one, two or three family houses.
 The question of enforcement is also being cited. Some persons hold that there will be such widespread violations of the regulation that full enforcement will be an impossi- bility.
 Passage of the regulation by the police board was voted on the grounds of public safety. It was contended that cars parked on the streets hampered passage of fire ap- paratus and might create a danger ous hazard in the event of a bomb ing or war disaster.
 Technically the regulation for bids parking for more than three consecutive hours between the hours of 1 and T a. m. This would make all-night parking an impossibility unless a car owner wished to delay parking his car until o'clock, and get up from bed at o'clock and move 1t down the street.
 The city-wide ban extends a pro- hibition against all-night parking which had been in operation for some months In an area within D specified radius of Exchange Place.
