Parking
Continued From First PageD

during which P Y. K Howat. chair
man of the Motor Vehicle Parking
Agency. predicted that private in
dustry will solve the Districts park
ing problem to large extent if
assured it will not have municipal
competition.
Earlier, George E. Keneipp, Dis
trict traffic director. stated that
increasing acute traffic congestion
may force Washington to condemn
property and lease it for parking
space and to prohibit parking on
downtown streets
This, he said, would be a last
resort measure and would depend
on willingness of private interests
to establish off street parking facil-
tiles. But, he added that he is
greatly dissatisfied. with the slow
progress to date and if no greater
Roadway is made within a year,
the District will act.
MIR. Keneipp discussed further to-
day the forecasts and suggestions he
made in speech yesterday at the
Civitan Club meeting in the May
flower Hotel. He told the club that
he intends not only to revoke licenses
of drunken drivers. but to see that
they remain revoked for at least six
months. He reconmC nded also that
habitual traffic violators be required
to take driving tests and that driv-
IN old 10
examinations for vision.
Property May Be Condemned.
Condemnation of property is with
In the power of the Motor Vehicle
Parking Agency, but no specific sites
have been marked out for such &C
ton, Mr.. Keneipp said today The
agency, however, has surveyed pos
sible off-street parking facilities in
the highly congested area between
Seventh and Fifteenth streets and
Pennsylvania and New York ave-
nues. 1t has been trying to interest
private enterprise in establishing
such parking places and will pro-
vide the survey data to all interested
persons. But the response thus far
has been disappointing, Mr.. KeneipI
added
The day is inevitably coming. y
he said. when We will need much
more off-street parking. Unless
there is greater progress along this
line by private enterprise within q
year, the District will have to con-
denim property and lease it to quail
flied operators as parking space A
downtown parking ban would also
have to be imposed, but such ban
probably would not come before the
condemnation measures were taken
Progress Too Slow.
Mr.. Keneipp said he did not wan
to make detailed predictions or Sc
headlines for possible condemns'
ton program or parking ban. Blu
In view OF present traffic conditions
the shortage of off-street parking
places, and the expected increase
from 10000 to 10000 in the mum
Der of automobiles in the Distric
within a year, he declared, mucr
greater and quicker progress mus
be shown.
In his speech yesterday he dis
closed that traffic officials are study
ing the feasibility of installing {
centralized traffic light control sys
tenn. This could be adjusted t,
time lights to help expedite move
ment of heavy traffic over a wild,
area, he explained.

the South Fork of the Flathead.
Snow was two to three feet deep
on either side of the road, and there
was bull moose. He trotted ahead
Of the bus for about two miles, and
then came to the conclusion that he
wasn't to be herded like tame cow.
He recollected that all his ancestors
were moose, and there are few more
powerful, American animals.
= Then he charged the bus; hit it
head on; backed off, and charged
again. The bus Tended by large
bumper was unframed, and appar-
