TRAFFIC ORDINANCE
NO Longer AMUSING
Commissioners Receive Re-
ports That Law Is Being
Constantly Violated

The city commissioners are becoming
slightly worried over the new traffic or
dinance. Reports to the police depart
ment indicate that the citizens are not
paying as much attention to the new laws
as the city commissioners are inclined to
think they should and while the officials
did not desire to make any statement in
this regard yesterday. it is considered
likely that an ultimatum will be laid
down early next week unless conditions
shape themselves up little better.
Numerous complaints have been coming
not only to the police but also to the
commissioners themselves in regard to
different sections of the ordinance which
1t is alleged are being violated with a
regularity that amounts to little less than
defiance. Sections q and 2S, particularly
the latter, are said to be the principal
cause of trouble. Section IS is the auto
mobile parking clause which provides that
a car can stand only 80 minutes on
the streets at a time and then must con-
form to several other regulations as TO
position and other matters.
Besides the section which prohibits Pc
destrians from crossing the streets dag
onally is beginning to lose its funny
side" At first it was extremely anus
ing for the people to stand on the street
corners and watch their erring brethren
being turned about and guided around by
the policemen. Now, the newness is wear
ing off and the policemen are getting tired
of one continual repetition of telling 1000
different people the same thing at the
same crossing in the small space of eight
hours.
Things are better, the commissioners adj
nit that, but they are inclined to be-
lieve that they are not as much better
as they ought to be. Several merchants
have complained of automobiles tioat
ing the parking law and Commissioner
Weatherly yesterday wrote 4 letter to
the chief of police and asked him to take
great care and not allow the traffic laws
10 fall into contempt.
1t seems almost certain that unless there
is a big change for the bettc- within The
next few days, the commissioners are 60
IT,, to issue an ultimatum with the re-
sult that the funny side of the .raffic or
dinance will very suddenly disappear some
morning when numerous and siindiy Cit
liens find themselves in police court.

TO DROP MATTER OF
FARE REDUCTION
No Reply Has Been Received to Letter
of Commission in Regard to
Transfer Privilege

1t is generally understood that the Bir-
fningham Railway Light and Power COM
pany intends to drop the matter of reduc-
ing the car fare from Wylam and Fairfield
to Birmingham proper which they volun-
tarily offered to do some few days ago.
No letter has been received in reply TO
the recent communication from the COM
missioners of the city refusing to amend
the contract of the company unless the
transfer privilege was allowed.
AS to what the city commission might
now do, nothing has been given out One
or two reports are heard to the effect that
the city will take the initiative and will
undertake to secure the fare reduction
and the transfer privilege. The citizens
of the district affected are in sympathy
with the position taken by the city COM
mission In the voluntary proposition
made to the city commissioners, the re-
duced fare was to have gone into effect

honor you offer me by asking that / be-

Birmingham out of the hole. | am not a
member of your Chamber of Commerce,
and hence cannot accept. Besides, a feel
ing of resentment always arises when |
think of the deliberate reputation OF
contract and betrayal of the people of
Ensley, made by officers of that body in
1909, and time, and seeing a little con-
sideration for people outside the inner
circle, must eliminate the sting of that
gross injury. The first is flying, the lat
ter isn't even a hedgling.
THE proposition to increase the reve-
nues of the city of Birmingham is only
a polite way of putting the question OF
raising the taxes of the people. And, as
in the case Of all taxes, the ultimate
consumer must pay.

the Chamber of Commerce, whereby it
is eontended the city could increase its
revenue annually s600.000.
Mr.. Mcdowell declines to become a
member of the committee and criti-
cizes the chamber on account of its
action during the campaign for the
realization of Greater Birmingham. He
also takes fling at the city in that it
spends, according to his statement 81

the resident in "outer darkness" or

His plan, however, Is considered by
Mr.. Sims a good one, and it is pos
