ALL-DAY PARKING BANIS ADVOCATED Van Duzer Stresses Need in Address Before Dupont Circle Citizens. Elimination of all-day and all- night parking to relieve the traffic congestion was urged by Traffic Direc- tor William A. Van Duzer yesterday at a meeting of the Dupont Circle Citizens' Association in the May- flower Hotel. | About 47,000 automobiles are parked | all night on the streets, Van Duzer | told the association. He advocated Jegislation to prohibit all-night park- | ing, setting a date three or five years away so the ban might be eased into effectiveness. i Through regulations, the Commis- pioners might attempt to attain this | end, Van Duzer said, but a new| board might do away with such regu- lations. Traffic lights, he declared, were necessary at intersections where 1,000 | wvehicles and 250 pedestrians passed | each hour during an eight-hour pe- | riod. Only about 300 of the 4,600 ‘Washington intersections are con- trolled by lights, he said, adding | that lights are needed at 190 more | intersections. He said the cost of| equipping each intersection with | lights was about $300. | “Congress has been giving us enough money,” Van Duzer said, “to install about 25 each year. With the increase in traffic and congestion, it looks to me as though we'll never catch up.” Approximately 58,000 automobiles | enter the Dupont Circle area every | 24 hours, he told the association, | yet there are few accidents there. Operators’ permits, in Van Duzer's opinion, should be canceled from three to six months for offenses such | as leaving after colliding, passing red lights, not slowing up at intersections and reckless driving. Means of raising additional reveune for the District were to be studied by the association’s Taxation Committee | and a report made at the January meeting of the group. Another ques- | .'tion to be studied for report next month was the proposed mechanical inspection of automobiles. MEMORIAL SERVICES ARE HELD BY ELKS| Quinn Main Speaker as Members Who Died During Year Are Honored. Memorial services for the 28 of their members who died during the jast year were held by the Washington Elks Sunday night at their temple. Th2 main address was made by Henry I. Quinn, member of Education, who praised the organiza- tion for religious tolerancé praised the deceased members of the club for their services. An illuminated white cross at the front of the hall symbolized members | who had died in past years, and a purple light was turned on each time the name of one of the 28 who died in the last year was called. A purple eross glowed within the white cross at the end of the roll call. James J. Murray, exalted ruler of the Washington Elks Club, presided. More than 400 members were present. Music was supplied by vocalists and by & group from the Elks Boys’ Band, with Capt. John S. M. Zimmerman, con- | ductor of the Soldiers’ Home Band, at the organ.
