More than 500 highway engineers
from many parts of the country are
attending the conference which
opened yesterday and which will
close Friday.
Meters Not Sufficient.
Matthew Sielski of the Chicago
Auto Club yesterday told the high
way engineers that parking meters
have not solved the problem of pro-
viding greater turnover in the num-
Der of cars using given space. He
blamed this on lack of proper en-
forcement.
In cities where police merely check
the meters, he said, the same park
ers frequently hog" spaces for
hours by dropping more coins in the
meters when their time expires. The
only answer to this problem is for
the police to check the vehicles by
marking the tires and examining
them regularly, he advised.
