Need for Signboards Before Mr. F. J. Schuhl, in the United States Consular Court, on Wednesday, Mr. B. A, Badon was summoned for causing an obstruction by leaving a motorcar unattended in a public thoroughfare where parking is not allowed. Defendant admitted the offence, but said that he was not aware at the time that he could not leave a car there.
Inspector Kinipple said that the defendant's car was left unattended for three hours at the corner of Szechuen and Kiukiang Roads causing an obstruction. That was a very busy corner.
Mr. Schuhl—I think it would be a good idea if signs could be put up, like they have in most big cities, stating that cars could not be left standing at particular spots.
Inspector Kinipple—We should have to have them up all over the Settlement. There have been pub-lie notices in the "Gazette," stating 4 where cars can be parked. At places where there ate white lines, cars can stand for a limited time, say 15 or 20 minutes, but the defendant's car was left standing for three hours.
Mr. Schuhl—There is practically no place along Szechuen Road where you can park a car!
Inspector Kinipple—No, it is too busy a thoroughfare.
Mr. Schuh! dismissed the defendant with a caution and endorsed the charge sheet with his suggestion that warning notices should be posted at places where cars are not allowed to be parked.
