street, to serve Michigan ave-
nue.. North Capitol street and
other northbound -southbound
arterials, and expansions at the
South Capitol Street Bridge
Plaza, to serve Suitland park
way. South Capitol street and
Nichols avenue.
"The proposed facilities" the
budget request said, comprise a
total area of more than IL mil
lion square feet, or an, average
of approximately $50 square feet
per car"
The budget estimate, designed
for submission to Congress next
January, was drafted on the as
sumption that the Districts first
fringe parking at the South Cap
itol Street Bridge, which opened
last week with 46O spaces, would
be a success. Also, the esti-
mate indicated, it is. to be ex-
panded during the current fiscal
year to provide 1000 parking
spaces.
3,4OO Spaces Added.
Describing the agency's opera
tions in 1855, the estimate said
"2.400 spaces were added by a
private enterprise in the CEN
trail BUSINESS district. The agency
in 1855 inaugurated the first
municipal parking lot in the
fringe area with capacity for
1000 cars These two activities
provided total increase for
1855 of 3,400 spaces" the esti-
mate said.
1t promised that, Gin 1856,
private enterprise will provide
1000 additional parking spaces
in the central business district,
with the agency adding $500 in
the fringe areas for a total of
1900 spaces"
The agency said it planned to
hire five guards for $13,750 to
help motorists park their cars
and maintain the parking areas.
The agency also asked $4,000
to put in traffic signals at the
lots.s
Outline Lot Needs.
1t requested 100000 to de-
velop plans. and construct the
eight parking lots, including
lighting, surface treatment, lane
markings, highway signs, con-
crete bus ramps and concrete
foundations for shelters. For the
design and construction of eight
shelters, an average of one per
480 cars, $4,000 was requested.
The agency also asked for $780,
900 to landscape the six South
Capitol Bridge parking lots,
which are to have a total capac-
ity of more than 1000 cars.

Prentiss Orders Plans
For Fringe Parking
LOT at Amphitheater

Immediate action on plans to
open second fringe parking lot
at the Carter Barron Amphithea-
ter on upper Sixteenth street,
has been ordered by Brig. Gen
Louis w. Prentiss, Engineer
Commissioner.
He has ordered Milton Rhodes,
head of the Districts Motor We
hicle Parking Agency. to confer
with the Capital Transit Co. on
the possibility of arranging spe-
cial rush-hour bus service be-
tween the lot and the downtown
area and to present a working
plan for his consideration.
Elimination of day-long park
ing on the Mall has hurt many
Marylanders who work at the
Bureau of Printing and Engrav-
ing, the Agriculture Department
and other places in the area,
Gen. Prentiss said.
Comedies Handicap.
Eve put them at a disad-
vantage" he declared. "by wip-
ing out their usual parking places
when the District opened it's first
fringe parking lot on the south
side of South Capitol Street
Bridge.
1T was necessary, though" he
insisted. adding that the prob
lem sis like a vicious circle"
IF we can get parkers off the
Mall and into fringe parking lots,
we can get better bus service.
The bus company can get more
riders, and the reduction in the
number of cars downtown will
improve over -all traffic conditions
and everybody can ride faster"
Meanwhile, the Motor Vehicle
Parking Agency asked the Com
missioners for permission to
spend $561,343 out of 81 million
in the motor vehicle parking
fund for the fiscal year 1856.
which begins next July /.
Eight Lots EnvisiOned.
The budget request-an in
crease Of 325.937 over the cur
rent years appropriation-out-
lined a $405, ,050 program for de-
velopment of eight fringe parking
lots during the year.
Some of these would be es-
tablished at the Industrial Home
site, Wisconsin avenue and CAL
vert street NV, to serve Wis
consin and Massachusetts, ave.

Motorized Team Of 3
TO Sci Up Overtime
Parking Enforcement

A fast-moving special enforce
ment team of eight policemen
last month handed out 1886
overtime parking tickets in down.
town Washington.
But Deputy Chief John j. Ag-
new, in charge of traffic for the
Metropolitan Police Department,
expects this strong enforcement
drive to be stepped up consid-
erably with the acquisition of
eight three-wheel motorcycles
for the squad. These are expected
to be delivered during the first
week of October, he said.
Then this team will be more
mobile, and better coverage more
often will be obtained" the chief
asserted.
Quietly, since August 2, the
men have been working on foot
and will continue to do so until
the special motorcycles arrive,
Deputy Chief Agnew said.
Deters Violations.
Surveying this test period, he
declared:
1T is apparent that this closer
observation, checking up and
getting after violations has had
Q tendency to discourage and
deter violations. This makes
more curb spaces for parking.
When we get the men on
motors, there is a possibility we
might have to make some adjust
ments OF present assignments.
But these men will be per-
manently assigned to 100 per
cent parking enforcement and
will not be given other routine
duties"
Brig. Gen. Louis w. Prentiss,
Engineer Commissioner, said
even the high number of tick
cts issued in August "was not
necessarily a good month"
In ambition to the fact that
the officers were covering the
downtown area on foot, he noted
that. while the American Le-
gion Convention was in town
there was considerable liber-
atty"
Parking Agency Pays Salaries.
Chief Agnew said the eight
men are paid by the Motor We
hicle Parking Agency. He said
$40, 400 has been set aside out Of
the agency's funds for salaries,
maintenance and equipment for
this team.
MY policy has been equitably
to enforce the regulations as a
steady day-to-day program,
said Chief Agnew. This is done
rather than having a breakdown
or special drive"
OF course, traffic and parking
tickets will continue to be given
to violators by other members of
the Metropolitan Police Depart
ment, the chief added.

He came to Wrangell in 1929 and for the next 15 years mined in the Cassiar district. In 1894 he and Mrs. Ethel Denney were married and Van bought the Wrangell Transfer which he oper- ated until the fall of 1943 when he suffered a stroke. He had been bed ridden since.

child was transported before Dr. Bangeman's protest and there was, only one child sent down. Dr. Bangeman's protest stopped any others - NOT the Department of Health or Alaska Native Service $ own initiative - or there may nave been more.
 We understand Dr. Sparling' s position. He is an employee of a branch of a Federal bureau. He de- fends that bureau. That is as It should be, probably. He must be a brilliant and qualified pediatrician. We do not question his qualifica- tions or his integrity. But, when he questions our integrity and hon. esty of reporting he had better have something better than vague state ments to back them up. We are first to admit we make occasional mistakes So do doctors, perhaps.
 Criticism in last weeks Peri scope was not aimed or leveled at Dr. Sparling. It pointed out a sys- tenn, or lack of system, in bureau (The Alaska Department of Health) which allows disease to spread, by an agency created for health pro- lection. If the Periscope has helped in any small way to stop spread oi polio in this area - let Dr. Spar ling's bricks fall where they may.
 Printing the facts as such is the duty of the press and results in killing exaggerated rumors" about any situation. The rumors are caus. ed by actions of individuals oI agencies. We are not in charge oi transporting children. As Sgt. Fri day says, "All we want are tho facts. ma'am." Dum-dee-dum-dum.

 With an enrolment of almost 330 youngsters, the Wrangell Pub lie schools are educating the largest enrolment in the history of the school. Glasses are larger than they have ever been and while enroll , ment bulges, we are not bursting at the seams as yet.
 With the increased enrolment and the ensuing additional burden the more important that the attend ance of the children shall be regul- ar and that they shall be punctual. A child who misses school or class for frivolous reasons obviously will miss a great deal more and create an additional burden beyond that which is necessary. As the enroll ment continues to grow. space will be at still greater premium. The school is very concerned with at tendance in that part of the support of the school depends on good at tendance and punctuality and re- sponsibility are traits which should be taught in every school.
 Many of the new faces belong to pupils who have come from almost every town in the southern half of southeast Alaska, from Ketchikan to Sitka. They are made welcome and have been impressed with the friendly atmosphere of Wrangell school children.
 The political organizations of the student body and of the various classes fs now. under way. Class, student body and club officers are being elected and considerable fore sight and acumen are being used by the students. Nowadays student nut be more than popular to hold an office he nut also be a leader.
 It Is gratifying to know, and Wrangell should be proud, that eight out of a graduating class of twelve student are now entering college for the first time. Editors Note: Two of them are planning to be school teachers which should help the teacer shortage.)
