Since the last obstacle, that of a permit from the City of Cambridge, has been removed, work will begin early next week on the new University parking lot at the corner of Mount Auburn and Holyoke Streets, Aldrich Durant '02, Business Manager of the University, announced yesterday.

The work, which will be under the supervision of the Maintenance Department, demands the removal of the stone foundations, grading, construction of sidewalk approaches and a fence.

Since a Cambridge ordinance provides that no cars can be parked within ten feet of adjoining buildings, the lot will accommodate only 50 cars instead of the estimated 75. These cars will be in charge of an attendant who will see that outsiders do not make use of the privilege. An undergraduate or member of the University who parks his car in the lot will be charged the usual sum required in out-of-door parking spaces.

This experiment should alleviate the asked for outdoor parking. The income will sustain the maintenance charges problems of students who do not wish to leave their cars in a regular garage in the opinion of the University. If it does prove successful, authorities will make every effort to obtain further accommodations. If the experiment, however, turns out to be a failure, the lot will be opened to the public.
