The asso- clation asked the Commi ers to re- store angle parking for an experi- mental period und abolish all parking during the morning rush hours in order to make & thor- ough comparison of the movement o traffic, but even this is not likely to be done. g Mr. Harland has submitted to the Commissioners a report, bused on hix survey of the Thirteenth street park ing =ituation, which shows that only 43 more automobiles can be parked in the four blocks between E and 1 stoeets with angle parking than with parallel parking. whereas this ad- vantage in'a small amount of addi ional parking ce is offset by the fact that with rallel parking tnere is always space for six lanes of mov ng traffic—three northbouni and hree southbound.
