Fringe Parking Test
Starts Sept. IS With
Opening Of Pilot LOT

The opening Of q pilot fringe
parking lot at the foot of the
South Capitol Street Bridge has
been set for September Is.
Milton M. Rodes, executive
director Of the District Motor
Vehicle Parking Agency, told q
meeting Of the agency yesterday
that the 500, 900 appropriated
by Congress for fringe parking
wSuld only allow this one lot
to be opened at this time.
Capacity of the lot win be
about 460 cars. The idea is that
motorists coming into downtown
Washington would park there
and take a bus on over the
bridge.
MIR. Rodes said that if the lot
proved successful it would be
expanded. The District-owned
land at the foot of the bridge is
capable of handling more than
1000 cars, he added.
The success of this pilot prof.
ect will determine the future Of
fringe parking in the city. The
agency has a number of other
sites in mind, including one at
the Carter Barron Amphitheater.

Fairfax Board Votes
To Keep SinuIe Goroqe

The Fairfax Board of County
Supervisors has decided to stick
by its plan of operating one
combined maintenance garage
for county vehicles, even if it
means an open battle with the
School board.
The supervisors, by a unani-
nous vote, adopted a resolution
yesterday rejecting the School
Boards proposal to lease part Of
the county's new 100000 ga
rage for maintenance of school
buses.
The latter had been the School
Boards counter-proposal to an
earlier request from the super
visors that school bus mainte-
nance be combined with other
vehicle maintenance under SUI
pervision of the county Depart
ment of Public Works.
One supervisor said it would
be more economical to have the
joint operation. Another said
