WOCLD BAR OFT BUSES.
Many Protests against Running
AUTO Coaches Along RiCerSide.

The action of the Fifth Avenue Coach Company
in running its double decSed buses on Riverside
Drive on Sunday and the arrest of dozen Of the
coInpany's drivers for violating city ordinance

Mr.. Meade said that the company had number
CT test cases pending, and that these would be
pushed rapidly possible to a final decision
He believes that the ordinance which bars vehicles
over ten feet in height from the parks will not
stand in the courts
The public" said Mr. Meade demands that
our buses De run on Riverside Drive and do not
think that We should be barred by mere techni-
cality.'
The company did not attempt 10 run buses on
Riverside Drive yesterday and no further attempt
will be made until the test cases are decided. The
company drivers VINO were arrested on SuI'-aN

which makes the full trip is liable any

Robertson of the Glen Addie Hose company in a letter from Chief Adams of the Talladega fire de- partment. As reason Chief Adams gives the financial status of Talladega and lack of enthusiasm among the firemen and citizens. This will prove a source of disappointment to the firemen and citizens An effort will probably be made to have the tournament in Birmingham
