New Parallel Parking Rule Is For Sa fety Parallel parking on Twelfth street between R and Vine has been the cause of considerable discussion and complaint. Heretofore, parking on this street has been diagonal, but a recent city ordiance has forbidden this practice. Chief of Police Peter Johnstone said that in a City Council meeting, held on the evening of September 26, a resolution was passed to the effect that all parking between Vine and R on 12th street should be par allel rather than diagonal. The chief explained that this was done as a measure of public safety. In the former method, two cars could not pass with utmost safety, while with the new iuling this situation is remedied. He also said that the zone was not extended to O street because of the fact that traffic is not so con gested in this district. Signs, informing motorists of the new rule have been placed in the parking of this district. SERVICES HELD FOR CARRIE B.
