Abandoned Car Policy $ Told A new procedure for ihe dispo sition of autos or other motor ve hicles abandoned on city streets or in public parking lots within the cltv will go into ellect Friday. Chief of Police Oiville Hamilton reported today. The new procedure is under the terms of en ordinance recently parsed by the city council. i Under Ihe ordinance, responsi bility for the storage and disposi tion of the autos falls on the city. In the past, autos had been stored at private garages, and then sold by the garage owners in an effort to recover the charges. Under, the new procedure, the city will pay the storage and tow ing bills, and will sell the vehicles after thev have been stored for a period of 30 days. If, In the mean time, the owner chooses to claim his vehicle, he must pay the tow ing and storing charges before it will be released to him. Hamilton said that the change had been instituted because the sale price of the vehicles, usually only Junk, very seldom equalled the combined lowing and storage charges. Under the new ordinance, police are required to determine, whether the owner of the vehicle can be found. If the owner cannot be found, a notice must be posted on the vehicle Itself for 24 hours be fore it Is towed. 1 California Weather By UNITED PRESS ' San Ftancisco Bay Region: Light rain this afternoon and even ing, oiiierw.se cloudy today and tonight; Friday partly cloudy; lit tle cnange in temperature; high today San Francisco, Oakland, San Matco and San Rutael 53-57; low tnnirrhr. 4f-ftfl ppntlp vnria hlf warns becoming southerly 10-18 I mph this afternoon and evening, j Northern California: Rain Ukinh and - Red Bluff northward this morning, spreading to San Fran cisco and Sacramento this after noon and evening; snow in moun tains at high levels Lake Tahoe northwurd; variable cloudiness elsewhere today and tonight; Fri day partly cloudy; little change in temperature; coastal winds south erly 20-35 jnnh Cape Mendocino northward, southerly 8-18 mph Monterey to Ca'io Mendocino, and variable 8-15 mph elsewhere today and ton i' rlil; variable winds 816 mph Friday."
