Many city governments realize the importance and necessity of some form of ordinance for the licensing of parking lots, with provision for a reasonable control of their operations. Most parking lots are commercially operated, which raises the equation of reasonable regulation and control of these facilities. In order to review the development of or

This bulletin presents values of freight train resistance at train speeds of 40 to 70 mi. per hr. The principal data were obtained in 1937 during a series of locomotive tests on the main lines of the Illinois Central system. Many low-speed train resistance values were calculated in order to check the results given in Bulletin No. 43 of the Engineer
