Tel. HJ17 lfOO-Year Oil Potential Told ELIZABETH, N. J. (JP). One-fourth of the United States' known reserves of coal could be used to make enough gasoline and oil to meet the nation's entire needs for 1,500 years, Dr.

Homer Z. Martin, assistantroi-rector of the development Standard Oil Development company, has estimated. The cost would be somewhat higher than natural fuels from petroleum, but, he said, coal offers a better long-run bet than natural gas because the reserves of natural gas are limfted. Two plants are now being equipped to make gasoline from natural gas. Premium gasoline can be made this way about as cheaply as it can be extracted from petroleum, he said.

This report Is on a study of parking in nine midwestern cities, comparable in size and character to Lincoln. All of these nine cities have adopted parallel parking in at least a portion of their congested areas. Three of them have entirely eliminated diagonal parking in the congested areas. FRED WELLS, chairman of the Lincoln group, said that in surveying the reports on parking problems of other streets, he joined other members of the committee in recognizing the many advantages of parallel parking. Traffic engineers advise parallel parking for these reasons: 1, the traffic-carrying portion is widened, thereby increasing the capacity of a street; 2, cars leaving parking spaces do not back into the stream of traffic, thereby the accident hazard is reduced: 3, the general congestion of traffic is reduced.

The principal drawback of parallel parking is a reduction in the number of traffic stalls in a block. Where parallel parking is adopted, off-street parking has to be supplied. "OCR LONG RANGE program has to do with a co-ordinated solution of both parking and traffic problems," Mr. Wells said. This would expedite the movement of traffic to and from the downtown areas as well as within the congested area itself and certainly would provide parking downtown.

"This can be. done only? by development, simultaneously, of off-street whether it is operated privately or municipally. The long-range problem will never be solved at the curb." Meanwhile, Mr. Wells added, the commission and the city must not overlook its shorter range program of taking care of any immediate and minor problems that arise. THE CONGESTED area in Lincoln is bounded on the south by street, on the north by street, on the west by 7th street and on the east by 17 th street.

In 1944, when gasoline rationing was in effect, an actual count showed motor vehicles making 82,000 trips into or within this area daily. But last summer the number of such trips had risen to 100,000 daily. Ninety-five percent of the parking spaces in this area are diagonal. The remaining 5 percent is allocated to parallel parking. Streets which have at least some parallel parking zones are Q.

between 14th and 17th; and 10th, 13th and 17th. INTO THE 626 parking meters In operation in Lincoln in 1947 (400 more are scheduled to go into operation shortly), motorists fed $60,383.79 funds that go first into the city's general fund and then city officials said, credited to the traffic division of the police department for maintenance and traffic education. Quite a few of the persons pulling into metered stalls paid $1 parking violations during the year. The income from fines is transferred thru the 'municipal court to the city treasurer, who credits 50 tents of each dollar to administrative costs and 50 cents to the school fund. Last year, $7,472 went to the schools; another $7,472 found its way back to the administrative expenses.

HOW LINCOLN will solve its long-range problem remains to be seen. Observers of traffic conditions agree that the report on nine other cities may have an effect on the decisions here. 200 Expected to Attend Annual Farm Meet PALISADE, Neb.
