The City Council held a stormy two-hour session yesterday discussing the parking problem in the Harvard Square section.
A motion by Councilor Al Vellucci to invite University Planning Coordinator John W. Teele '27 and a representative of the Student Council to testify about parking next week was sidetracked to the Special Committee on Harvard. The chairman of the committee, Councilor Joseph A. DeGuglielmo '29, said he had an appointment to confer with Teele some time this week.
Councilor Pearl K. Wise agreed with Vellucci that "Harvard should be prevailed upon to find adequate parking facilities for its students and employees." But her suggestion that parking on Brattle and Mt. Auburn Streets be restricted to Cambridge residents between 6 and 10 a.m. met with opposition from Chief of Police Patrick F. Ready, a witness at the proceedings.
Ready defended the right of out-of-towners to park on the streets by saying, "A person who owns an automobile is entitled to some consideration, no matter where he comes from."
