ALL-NIGHT BAN
STARTSAPR|L1 |.
Police Busy Stalking Out
Parking Spaces in APP
proved Yards

While the board of education pre-
pared for battle on the question OF
school yard parking at its meeting
Monday, police today continued to
stake out parking spaces in ap-
proved yards and Police Superin-
tendent William j. Roach reiterated
that the all-nlght parking ban
would be enforced April / at the
latest.
Sixteen school yards and eight
parks are being made ready to ac-
commodate drivers who are unable
to find suitable garages or yards for
parking. The new regulations pro-
hibit continuous parking more than
three hours between the hours one
and seven a. m.
Signs are being prepared for in
stallation at the parking areas. The
police department and some men,
bers of the school board disagree
on the manner In which the park
ing of cars in school yards should be
regulated. Originally Superintend-
ent Roach indicated that he favor
ed a first come first served" pol
Icy, and this has been objected tc
by board members.
The latter urged the assignment
Of specific spaces to motorists who
would apply for permission to park
in the areas. An effort will be made
to rescind or modify the vote of the
board granting permission for use
of the school yards, unless police
agree to the assignment Of individ-
ual spaces to applicants.
