If everybody parking at curbs had scrupulously observed his legal parking time limit, he said, about thirty thousand cars could have been accommodated during the business hours. An actual check, however, revealed that only 20.000 benefited from curb privileges, due, presumably, to overtime violations. Off-street parking facilities, it was estimated, cared for around sixty thousand cars. That left nearly two hundred thousand either circulating around the streets while drivers looked for curb spaces or were passing through the district.

Baker takes the view that the growth of Los Angeles Is not likely to approximate that of the thrilling decade prior to 1930 for a long time to come, but he estimates that by 1845 there will be 1.070.000 persons lally entering the central business district, regardless of any decentralization trend. That is one out of three of an estimated population for the entire metropolitan area. His population guess would certainly seem to be conservative, but his estimate of 350,000 automobiles dally entering the downtown district In 1945 Is obviously more so. At the present ratio of automobiles to persons entering the area, assum- Ing it has not greatly changed In the depression years since 1931. some four hundred and twenty thousand cars would be driven down every' day ten years from now, 'even on the basis of Mr.

Baker's own conservative guess of total number of persons who will be seeking the central section. But the point is this: As many as 75.000 more automobiles dally. Mr. Baker believes, would just about "throttle" the business center. His 350,000 automobiles in 1945 would care for their share of the people entering the district (if they could all get in.) but that would sta leave it up to tb street railroads and busses, which, in 1931.
