Parking Spaces Marked
Less congestion of traffic was
made possible Saturday by the
white lines which had been painted
for parking space in the areas
where the greatest number of traf-
fic jams usually occur when the
crowds are large. Cars parking
inside of the white line, between
the marked spot and the sidewalk
or curb, were benefited, too, because
of the lesser danger of another
automobile running into them.
