FAKE CANCELING PARKING PERMIT Driveways on Lot Take Too Much Space, View. Revoking of a permit for two additional driveways along the parking lot at the point of Capitol and Kentucky avenues was considered today by the board of public works. Philip Ryan, assistant city •engineer, was asked to cheek the amount of space used as "entrances" and to confer with Smiley N. Chambers, assistant city attorney, as to the legal steps to take in rescinding the permit. The General Parking Corporation lot and filling station has a frontage of 239 feet along Capitol avenue, 128 ieet of which is taken up by driveways to the property. The remainder of the space is divided no that it is impossible to use any of it for parking along the curb, making necessary no parking signs which were erected by the safety board. There also is a driveway on the Kentucky avenue side. Ernest F. Frick, work* board secretary, said the board received several complaints because the driveways took up "too much" parking space and asked the engineering department to conduct an investigation. VIKINGS SEEK FUNDS FOR AMUNDSEN MEMORIAL Tiny Norwegian f raft Two Months in Atlantic Crossing. HAVANA, April 5.—A strange Norwegian ctaft with high curving bowsprit and red and white sails, reminiscent of the sailing ships of Magellan and Columbus, rode at anchor in Havana harbor today. Its captain, Gerhard Folgero; Its crew of three modem vikings, and its mascot—a black cat—were ashore getting their "land legs” after nearly two months at sea crossing the Atlantic. In the bay, curious native pilots of small harbor craft cluttered around the visitor and made out the name on her bow, the Roald Amundsen. Folgero, blond-bearded descendant of an earlier Viking Lief, Ericson, said he and his companions had come to the new world as Columbus had—in a sailing vessel—to raise funds for a memorial in Norway to the late polar explorer, Amundsen, who lost his life seeking the survivors of the dirigible Italia disaster.
