The national parking problem is!”

the next great “frontier” awaiting exnloration by the inventive genius: of‘ industrialized America. Because, ss the American Automobile Association recently stated, the average auto no longer is primarily - pleasure vehicle. On the contrary; it is used primarily for going to and coming from work, for shoppin: or other important business. The niotor car, in a word, probably is 28 ‘important as any other single factor to America’s economic life. It is necessary, of course, that streets b= kept clear enough to facilitate movement of -autos, but it is just zs imperative that facilities be proviced so that cars may stop occasion: lly,

Trucks Worst Offenders :

Double parking, which is outlawed almost universally, seems to be the perking offense which stands most in need of adamant police regulation . Trucks and other commercial “chicles making deliveries probably, are the worst offenders, with casu2l shoppers a close second. Recent stop-watch surveys in San Francisco on busy commercial thoroughfares showed that, in some in-

stances, - {rucks and private cars|

remained “double parked” on ordi- | nary six-lane streets for as long as 17 minutes. When even one such car is “dou-ble-parked” all traffic in that direction is limited to one lane. And, in the Sen. Francisco case, this one lane happened to be occupied by a street railway line carrying a heavy trolley schedule. Such instances as these are merely single facets of a -manyangled: Br oblem, towards the solu-. tion: of “vhich the A. A.
