I Change of the traffic ordinance was (promised by members of the city coun cil, when a group of representative isiness men appeared before the coun- il and contended that the prohibition of parking on Washington, Alder, Park nu West Park streets was injuring isiness. Traffic Officer Opposes Change. Prohibition of parking on Washing- street, for any greater length of "time than was necessary to discharge r take on passengers was effected by he city council in 1915. In January f this year the city council added Alder, Park and West Park streets to he list, following careful investiga tion carried on by officials of the irafflc department of the police bureau. I Lieutenant Lewis, In charge of the (fraffic department, Is opposed to the lifting of the prohibition of parking (on streets within the congested dis trict on the ground that the congestion Jvhich will follow the lifting of the ban mrlll be so great as to make it impos sible for police officers to handle it. However, Lieutenant Lewis will make 310 fight before the council to prevent the amendment of the ordinance saying that the business men will learn quicker (through practical experience than they Brill through oratorical effort. ,1 Bad Conditions Predicted. 1 "About one year ago Mayor Baker fcrrged a one-way traffic law for the Congested district." said Lieutenant Lewis. "The effort was unsucessful, and it became necessary to work out a SIan which would relieve the congestion p.3 far as possible. "If the present ordinance is amended ly the council, I am sure that condi tions will be so bad in the near future, that the business men of the city will come to use and demand that which we attempted to give them a year ago piie-way traffic It is the only solution tor Portland with Its narraw streets and must come some day." Lieutenant Lewis contends that tinder present laws governing parking of au tomobiles it is almost impossible for delivery of merchandise in the congest ed district after 9 o"clock in the morning. With the exception of minor changes roade to make the ordinance practical following the proposed changes, no oth er provisions of the traffic ordinance is affected in the contemplated amend ments. It is probable that a large number of business men will appear be fore the council to voice their opinions in connection with the proposed changes.
