Parking Problems
Menace Business,
Expert Reports
Ithaca, N. Y. 'IlvTho motorist
isn't the only one who has u
problem in parking his car. It's a
headache, loo, which can mean
tho success or failure of a busi
ness, the loss of good will, or the
first step In good advertising.
The growing parking problem
is like a plague lor cities, which
must find a cine if they are to
stay on a sound civic and com
mercial basis, warns Prof. Taylor
1). Lewis, a nationally-known
traffic authority.
Itecenl Investigations in many
cities, he says, show that parking
opportunities have failed to de
velop in proportion to the ever
growing number of automobiles
on the road.
Working out the problem in
volves research, planning and "a
lot of common sense," Lewis add
ed. rive Categories
The professor of transportation
engineering at Cornell university
finds the average community of
100,000 population has five cate
gories of drivers looking for park
ing space.
One is the motorist who works
downtown all day and cannot
lake a bus or streetcar 40 his job.
Another, the salesman, for ex-,
ample, needs his car all day for
short trips. A third makes only a
15 to 30-minute errand trip. A
fourth wants to shop an hour 01
more. And the fifth wants park
ing space while enjoying a movie
or other entertainment late in the
afternoon or night.
The 15-30 minute shoppers can
easily be handled by providing
limited parking areas up to 30
minutes free parking, near a
bank, for example, Lewis be
lieves. The "amusement" crowd
isn't a serious problem, either.
But a wrong solution to the
three other problems might de
prive merchants of customers,
Tob business men of time and
cause a variety of additional in
conveniences, he warned.
Fair distribution of available
space is the first answer neces
sary. With research showing the
average motorist spending 27 to
29 minutes in one spot, Lewis
said one solution would be to lim
it parking to 30 minutes during
certain hours, gradually relaxing
the time limit as the day goes on.
Parking meters, he finds, are
most valuable in smaller commu
nities, where a ticket from a po
liceman the driver has known
since childhood might not mean
as much as the automatic sum
mons involved in a meter viola
tion. Answers Suggested
Mass transportation or more
parking lots are the only answers
to the all-day parking problems,
he said.
In Cleveland, O., he pointed out,
many parking lots are some dis
tance from the metropolitan area,
and after parking their cars, mo
torists ride a bus or streetcar to
their destinations. In another
case, a large chain store in up
state New York built four miles
from the downtown area In order
to provide sufficient parking fa
cilities for its customers.
"Supermarkets and other mer
chants who crowd the same con
gested area court financial dan
ger, because the lack of parking
space frequently will drive custo
mers to neighborhood stores
ven though prices may be a little
higher," Lewis said.
As an example of rural trade
being drawn away from the local
market and diverted to other
communities because of parking
problems, he cited farmers around
New Haven. Conn., who have gone
as far away as Hartford for their
goods.

New York. Jan. 12 mi Ameri
can donors have given up 97,(K)0
pints of blood in the first year
of the national blood program of
the Red Cross, statistics showed
today.
The blood has been used to
save the lives of infants, treat
ment of burns, prolong the lives
of leukemia sufferers and help
children through attacks of meas
les. The figures on the blood dona
tions came from the Red Cross
whose blood program marks its
first birthday tomorrow.
Since the first blood center was
established at Rochester, N. Y., a
year ago there have been 19 pro
grams begun throughout the na
tion, and it is expected that 30 re
gional centers will be in operation
by June 30. 19-19.
At the beginning of last De
cember, the Red Cross announc
ed, the blood program embraced
234 counties, involved the parti
cipation of 371 chapters and
served more than 600 hospitals.
The Red Cross pointed out that
while the quantity of blood col
lected so far is only a small per
centage of present nationwide
needs, it does indicate that with
mobilization of all community
forces the Red Cross hopes to
reach Its objective of supplying
much of the blood needed in med
ical practice.
The organization reported also
that value of blood plasma and
blood fractions supplied during
the fiscal year 1947 -18 reached an
estimated current value of $17,
000,000. Most of the plasma and
derivatives were from blood do
nated by Americans during the
war.
