Partners in Garage Will Start
Own Fringe Parking System

AS District Government plan
ners labor over large-scale and
long-range blueprints for fringe
parking, two virginians are set
to start their own modest fringe
parking scheme here over the
week end.
Fathers Of this small-but,
they hope, bouncing - BRAIN
child are Edmund j. Berry, jr.,
%. Of ia Church Walk, Falls
Church, and Leonard o. Harris,
38. Of 1888 Twentieth street,
Arlington.
They have been in business as
Embassy Garage, Inc, for about
two months at 1890 Champlain
street NV, selling gasoline and
automobile services.
One day recently they sud-
denly realized that their garage
is located within two blocks Of
three major Capital Transit lines
and only about q 10-minute ride
from downtown. Putting three
transit lines together with 200
parking spaces in their garage,
the partners reached one con-
clusion: Fringe parking.
AS q result, the parcel they
have to offer outlying motorists
with downtown destinations is
this:
Each week you pay 81. In
return, you get an inclosed park
ing space protected "a hours q
day by an attendant, as well as
q 75-cent weekly transit permit.
Not only can you use the permit
between the garage and down
town. but anywhere else you
choose to go during the week.
With the permit, OF course, the
customer must pay the custo-
mary 10 cents per ride On Capital
Transit. But the partners figure
this considerably more econom-
ical to themselves and their
prospective customers than pre-

TWAS Hot Here Yesterday

Advisers Of Split Up
For Analysis Of New
Housing Code Plan

The Districts newly formed
Housing Code Advisory Commit
tee probably viii decide next
Monday on how to suhdivide into
separate groups to analyze diff
ferent parts Of asproposed code
Of housing regulations for the
city.
Charles B. Dulcan, retired
general manager Of the Hecht
Co. who was appointed commit
tee chairman yesterday, sched-
uled the Monday meeting for
4 pm.
Members have a 25-page nine
part code to dissect. Their rec
concentrations will be aired at
"a public hearing. then turned
over to the District Commission
erS for final decision.
The proposals now before the
advisory group were submitted
by a subcommittee Of still an
other Commissioners committee,
that on Stun Prevention and
Rehabilitation. This subcommit-
tee consisted city government
officials and civilian advisors.
States Coverage.
As the proposed code states in
its first provision. it is aimed at
covering every building or part
thereof occupied, used, or held
out for use as a place of abode
for human beings" This lam
guage is all-incluSive to the ex-
tent that it covers such dwell
ings as rooming houses and ten
ement houses already under Ii
censed regulation.
Brig. Gen. Louis w. Prentiss,
Engineer Commissioner, ex-
planned. however. that the new
code is aimed chiefly at bring
ing unlicensed dwellings up to
certain minimum standards.
Standards already set by ex-
listing regulations for rooming
and tenement houses ostensibly
will stand except in cases where
conflicts arise between those
regulations and the provisions
Of the overall housing code.
Not to be Retroactive"
Despite the seeming strictness
Of the new proposals, one city
official explained, the goal is
not to make 1854 standards for
new housing applicable to old
housing.
1T is obvious that we can't
do that" this official said. "The
idea Is to bring housing UP to
standards that will provide liv-
able living space for all human
beings in all walks of life. We
90 not contemplate a code that
will require major repairs, ex-
cept in those cases where hous-
ing owners have allowed their
premises to deteriorate below
reasonable levels"
Some Points Of Conflict.
Not all the recommended pro-
visions are considered that rea-
sonahle. it was understood. A
requirement that would in effect
outlaw all mechanically venti-
lated living units in so-called
efficiency apartments appears in
the recommended code. This
conflicts not only with the exist
ing building code but with the
views Of most Of the members
OF the housing code subcommit-
tee which prepared the regula-
ton up for review.

tomato dishwashers. doing away
with the more monumental mil
itary kitchen jobs.
On Air Force sergeant dwelt
on the problem involved.
It may be cheaper out In
Oklahoma" he said, but not
with the way costs are around
here. And another thing. You
take. say, 10 civilians, working a
five-day, 40-hour week. and
you're not actually saving many
man-hours for the Air Force"
Efforts to reach the Army's
most famous KIP private - a..
David Schine - for his views
were unsuccessful.

Recreation Officials
Study Proposed Shift
OF Federal Facilities
Miss Natalie Lamken.

A move to transfer Federally
operated recreation facilities
here to the District Recreation
Department is under study by
recreation officials.
Recreation Supt. Milo F. Chris
Hansen yesterday said he may
propose seeking funds in the
1866 budget for such a trans
fer. Extra funds would be need
ed because the Federal operation
has a deficit.
Superintendent willing.
Edward j. Kelly, superinten-
dent Of National Capital Parks,
which oversees the Federal IA
cilities. said today he would go
along with q transfer. Henry
Gichner. Recreation Board chair.
man, indicated a lack of enthu-
siasm for the idea, at least at
this time. Mr.. Gichner told a
reporter:
I'VE already have our hands
full"
Way for consolidation of the
city and Federal play operations
was paved by the Recreation
Boards dropping Of all race re-
strictions in May. Until then
some Recreation Department
play areas were limited to use by
one race. Federal facilities long
have been unrestricted.
Agreement with Chapman.
District officials made an agree
n1ent several years ago with for
mer Secretary OF the Interior
Oscar Chapman looking toward
eventual District control. of all
recreation facilities. The agree
ment couldn't be contaminated
as long as race policies differed,
however.
Now the chief stumbling block
is the problem of the deficit.
Neither Mr.. Christensen nor Mr..
Kelly Indicated how this might
be solved, but presumably it
would be met by the District
taxpayers If the Recreation
Board took control.
The Federal play facilities now
are operated by Government
Services, Inc. a concessionnaire,
except for golf courses, which
are operated by s. @. Loeffler,
another Federal concessionnaire.
The GSI-operated facilities in
clude six swimming pools, two
Rock Creek Park tennis courts.
Hams Point bicycle facilities and
some boats.
Golf Course Contract.
Mr.. Kelly said he would be
glad to be relieved of supervisory
responsibility for the GSI oper-
alton. He said there is no pos
sibility of the District taking
over the golf courses before 1863,
however. because the park serv-
ice recently signed long-term
contract with Mr.. Loeffler.
Mr.. Kelly said as far as he
knew the agreement between the
Recreation Department and the
Interior Department is still in
effect. He added that it would
have to be reviewed by present
administration officials before
anything could be done to carry
it out, however. Secretary Nc
Kay left yesterday on a trip to
Alaska, he said.
Budget Talks Next Week.
The Recreation Board is
scheduled to meet next week on
its 1856 budget plans. Mr..
Christensen said today he would
not propose any item covering
the proposed transfer until later,
however. The necessity of watt
ing for funds would postpone any
actual transfer, at least until
next July /.

sen has made no approach to
him about the e,,hiant ,,ot

New Away Stop

Jackson And Elm
Council Believes Measure
Will Slow Down
Race Track Driving

Another four-way stop at street
intersection was approved Tuesday
night at meeting of municipal coun-
ell with the decision to institute the
plan at Jackson and Elm streets at
the same time similar program goes
into effect at Jackson street and
College avenue.
The four-way stops are planned at
both intersections as a means of ad-
ditional crossing protection for child
rem enroute to school and to eliminate
"race-track" driving now common on
West College avenue and West Elm
streets.
Under legislation approved for both
intersections, stop signs will be erect
ed at all four approaches to the inter-
sections.
All grade and high school children
crossing College avenue or Elm street
will be urged to go to the four-way
stop intersections emoute to and
from school under the new plan.
In some respects the additional
crossing protection at the intersec-
tions in question is just as important
as the need to combat hazards at the

Rates Increased
Under Township
Fire Contracts
Different Agreements
Drawn Up With Orange
And Richland Trustees

New rural fire protection contracts
for Richland and Orange townships,
providing increased financial protec-
tion for the town, were worked out
Tuesday night at a meeting of NUM-
cipal council.
For the first time since fire pro-
lection agreements were reached with
the townships, however, the contracts
are not uniform, a development which
resulted from conferences between
councilmen and members of the
boards of trustees of the townships.
Under the new Richland township
fire protection contract, the village
will be paid $400 annually, irrespec-
tive of the number of calls. This is
an increase of $3.50 from the former
contract price of $3.50.
Orange townships rate will be $3.50
for the first FIVE Tor fewer). In ex-
cess of five calls, Orange trustees
will pay the fremen's salaries for
each run. II all II members of the
department respond to call, the ag-
gregate cost is $50 for one-hour's
service.
4 difference in the fire experience
of the two townships accounted for
the varying contract forms, and both
contracts were by the trustees of the
township.
Last year the Bluffton fire depart
ment answered II calls in Riehland
township at a total labor cost alone
of $3.50.
In Orange township, firemen were
called upon to fight only five fires at
a total cost in labor alone of only 800.
