B “ALLAY PARKER URGED 10 REFORM Eldridge Promises Drastic Action if Milder Methods Fail to Curb Practice. Having received complaints recently thet all-day parking of automobiles in the one-hour congested zone is increas- i n, Trafic Director Eldridge o his attention today to this re- eurring problem “Tt_ssems to be generally agreed, Mr. Eldridge said, “that one hour is a reasonable parking allowance in the congested section, but drivers who leave their machines within that sec- tion all day while they are at work make it impossible for persons who come downtown to transict business to find a place to stop. T first want to make an earnest appeal to these violators of the one- hour limit to recognize the injustice of leaving their cars in the congested area all day, thereby leaving no room for the man or woman who has to stop for & short time on w business street. Space Worth $20 a Day. “If the all-day parkers are un\\'lllmv.’i to co-operate by heeding this appeal then the only alternative is to pl heavier penalities on them for staying in one place more than an hov n the congested_area.’ In an effort to get the voluntary co- | operation of parking violators by mak ing them realize the value of the space in which they store their cars | on a business thoroughfare, Mr. Eld- | ridge gave this illustration “In a certain business block down- town the property abutting on the | street is worth about $8.000 a front | foot. An automobile parked parallel | to the curb takes up 12 feet of space. which would be worth $100,000 if the street could be given a value com- mensurate with the abutting prop- | erty. Figuring 6 per cent a vear on such an investment, the theoretical cost of parking a mhachine on that business street would be $20 a day.” | Movers” Appealed To. Director Eldridge sald the man who | leaves his car in the congested zone | all day while he is at work. but who moves it a short distance every few | hours to avold arrest. would help fo | improve the situation greatly by | leaving his machine outside the con- | gested zone. | “It is not a great hardship.” Mr. Eldridge continued, “to leave an | automebile outside the congested zone and walk a few blocks to office. On the other.hand, it would prove | beneficial exercise for those who ride | in automobiles NAVY OFFICER CLEARED. Lieut. Tomelty Held Not Guilty of | Liquor Smuggling. | NORFOLK. Va..
