IT'S OVERTIME
If YOU REPARK
IN SAME SPACE

A two-hour parking limit
is not interrupted by driving
a car around the block and
returning it to the same
parking space, Municipal
Court Judge Frank H. Myers
ruled yesterday.
The decision was handed
down when Joseph P. Hagan,
7402 Upshur street, Hyatts-
vile, Md, an Interior De-
partment employe, appeared
in court to contest an over
time parking ticket he re-
ceived tuesday in the 1900
block of D street NV.
Mr.. Hagan told the judge
he returned to his car,
parked near his Office, just
before a two-hour limit ex-
pired. He said he drove
around the block and. not
being able to find another
place, returned to his origi-
nal parking space.
Judge Myers ruled. how
ever. that driving around the
block did not interrupt the
running of the two-hour
limit, and fined him So.
