6 BOARD OF TRADE ARCUES PARKING Committee Opposes Many Limited Areas—Held to Have Exceeded Authority. A parliamentary battle which re- sulted In excluding any questioning ot Traffic Eldridge’s authority in re- gard to certaln parking practices and any recommendation in relation to traffic from the streets and avenues committee report featured the first Fall meeting of the Washington Board of Trade at the Willard Hotel last uixht. George C. Shinn, chairman of the streets and avenues committee of the board, included in his report several recommendations in regard to the downtown parking problem, one of which was to take some steps to pre- vent the withdrawal of parking spaces from the publio highway by private firms and organizations. Pointing out that there are 100,000 cars on the streets, Mr. Shinn deplored the fact that banks, churches, large and small stores, clubs and theaters were being granted the right to with- draw an abnormal amount of parking areas from the & reets, firther adding to the parking problem. “There are hundreds of such cases,” he sald. He particularly pointed out that these spaces, such as in front of churches and theaters, are rved even when business and service are not being conducted. The report ques- tioned Mr. Eldridge’'s right to with- draw these spaces from the public highways for private concerns. Eldridge Upholds Stand. Trafic Director Eldridge imme- dlately after the reading of the report jumped to his feet and requested to speak. He admitted that 403 such no- parking permits have been granted. He also declared that churches, etc., were supposed to withdraw the signs after services. Mr. Eldridge, however, aid that these permits were given se study by him and were necessary for the conduct of business and that 50 per cent of the requests for private no-parking signs were turned down. e agreed with that part of the com- mittee’s report recommending the re- moval of the public comfort station at Fifteenth and H streets. He said that 75 accidents have occurred at that spot. Edward F. Colladay, past president of the board and a member of the local Republican national committee, rose and spoke against the report, stating that the streets and avenues committee had exceeded its authority tn discussing traffic. Edwin F. Brand- enburg, general counsel for the board, also supported Mr. Colladay, and Odell nith, chairman of the public order committee, declared that the au- thority of the traffic director should not be questioned, and that no Dis- trict public_official should be eriti- °d at a board meeting unless he d done something very wrong. rhe result of the discussion was that all reference to traffic was stricken from the report, which was then adopted. Air Mail Discussed. Warren I. Glover, Second Assistant Postmaster General, in speaking on the air mail service, outlined to the rs of the board the growth of ice since its inception in 1918. Since that time, he declared, air mail pllots have flown 14.760,000 miles and ed 276,000,000 pieces of mail. The 925-26° showed that the 13,000,000, and flew ) id that the Post Office Department pending $786,- 00,000 annually and would soon be i $1,000,000,000 to properly e of the United States postal Mr. Glover s on industries, by bridges, ; mem “ommittee repo Philips Hill, W.

Ledig, R “The Busy Corner” Hesse Is Opposed To Parking Around Columbus Statue A ban on automobile parking around the base of the Columbus statue in front of Union Station will be recommended to the Com- missioners by Maj. Edwin B. Hesse, superintendent of police. The parking of cars around this statue, Maj. Hesse sald, is not only undignified but unsightly, and there is no reason for it, when there is sufficient space available for -such purpose around the circle paralleling the street car tracks. Maj. Hesse reached his decision to recommend a prohibition against parking around the base of the statue after observing an improve- ment in the appearance around the monument when machines were taken away yesterday morning for the Columbus day exercises.
