Officials Back
Parking Laws

A Washington lawyers cam
paign against the Districts 49,
hour street parking limit is get
ting a cold reception from the
authorities concerned.
Anthony Wayne Smith. 1916
New Hampshire avenue NV.
recently received two tickets for
leaving his auto parked on the
street near his home in violation
of the 18-hour law.
Mr.. Smith sent Traffic Director
George E. Keneipp a plan for
changing the present law. His
proposal would have police no.
tify the offending motorist his
car should be moved. If the
warning is ignored. a ticket
would be issued.
Mr.. Keneipp said last night
that Mr.. Smith also suggested
extending the l8-hour period TO
a week or 10 days.
The traffic director said he
sent the proposal to the engin-
eering department for study. Mr..
Keneipp added that he didn I
see how the Today plan could
work. He said the 18-hour limit
is particularly important in keep
ing streets cleared for funerals
and weddings. Temporary park
ing bans are imposed in such
cases. Cars left on the streets
in violation of the bans are towed
away.
Police also defend the need
for the l8-hour law. Paradox
cally, the police themselves park
impounded cars on the streets
and leave them there longer
than 10 hours. But theirs is a
governmental function, they
argue, and. besides. they don't
have enough parking lot space
20 accommodate the cars they
inlpound.
Mr.. Keneipp also said it
would be "a unique system Of
law enforcement" if police were
REQUIRED to post warnings on
cars already in violation of the
law.
At any rate. he declared. the
l6-hour law is so important that
any great change in it should
be made only after a public
hearing.
Il am sure there would be a
lot of opposition to such a
change" he added.
Police have said they need the
law to prevent the streets from
being turned into junk yards.
