It would be tried for 90 days in an attempt to provide wider driving space on the crowded streets. Urged by Safety Group The traffic engineering advisory committee of the Indianapolis Safety council which recommended the plan after a meeting yesterday | at the Hotel Lincoln, had suggested Capitol ave. and Alabama sts. the experiment. The a parking would be from about 4:30 to 6:30 p. m. from Maryland st. to 16th st. The committee also heard William F.
